Jodie MacAndrew
I was part of the team who first hosted the Young Business Showcase in Camberley and supported the event again for Reading's first event. I was given the honour to be an event Judge on a number of occasions. I have seen first hand how the Young Business Showcase impacts young people...supporting growth in confidence, future skills and giving them the opportunity to earn their own money. Join me and bring the Young Business Showcase to Newbury and surrounding areas.
