Prominent City Figure To Champion Women Entrepreneurs
Diane Côté, former Chief Risk Officer at the London Stock Exchange Group was speaking after it was announced she has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director of X-Forces Enterprise which helps and supports members of the Armed Forces Community start their own business.
Diane said:
We are seeing now more investors increasing their investments in female entrepreneurs. In the post pandemic landscape there will be plenty of opportunities for people to get their business ideas off the ground.
She added,
We need to provide women with all the support required to ensure they can seize these opportunities and achieve their dream of becoming entrepreneurs.
A call to automatically shortlist veterans for West Midlands Combined Authority jobs has been made by a mayoral candidate. Labour candidate Liam Byrne MP has made the call as part of a plan to support former Armed Forces personnel and their families. The move would see veterans automatically shortlisted for posts at the combined authority – headed by the West Midlands mayor – if they apply. Also among the plans is an idea for a centre of excellence for the treatment of injuries, rehabilitation and sport at the new hospital planned for Arden Cross, Solihull involving Birmingham’s Royal Centre for Defence Medicine and the Commonwealth Games.
“I’m very sad to resign from Torfaen, he said. However, the work involved in carrying out duties for both county borough council and town council – and as mayor - has become too much to cope with. “When I joined the town council in 2009, it was a completely different organisation to the one we have today, with far less going on in terms of community projects and service delivery. “We’ve won five National Innovative Practice awards from One Voice Wales during the past three years, and been asked to make presentations on our initiatives to other community councils across Wales as an exemplar local authority.
