AN MP is set to host a drive for budding entrepreneurs this International Women's Day.

Gosport MP, Caroline Dinenage. will be hosting a free webinar on March 8 where she will welcome speakers to talk about getting women to start their own business or running for public office.

Caroline, who set up and ran her own business for 20 years before becoming an MP, says she has always been passionate about expanding opportunities for women and helping them with advice or guidance to take the step into business or public life.

During her decade as MP, Caroline has sat on the Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee and was appointed one of twelve small business ambassadors by then Prime Minister David Cameron.

Caroline said: “We will be hearing from a range of fascinating speakers who will be there to provide insight and expert knowledge on getting into business and seeing more women in public life.

"To help us Build Back Better after COVID-19 we need more women to take that step and I am sure our speakers will showcase this to the fullest!”
