Ballymena businesswoman Rachel Doherty has been confirmed as a speaker at this month’s upcoming Entrepreneurs Unleashed conference.

The event, which will take place at the Cathy Short Theatre in Belfast on November 28, is designed to ignite entrepreneurial spirit and provide actionable insights to help businesses grow and thrive.
Organised by multi-disciplinary media and marketing agency Excalibur Press, the conference is set to become a key event for business leaders looking for ways to take their ventures to the next level.
Rachel’s talk, ‘Top Tips For Nailing The Tendering Process’, will encompass over a decade of experience on navigating the tender process with confidence, understanding ‘social value’ and maximising chances of securing public sector contracts to guide attendees through the journey.
Identifying what entrepreneurs can expect from her talk, Rachel said: “I’ll be giving quick fire tips on how to get tender ready.
“I hope the audience will take away practical insights and guidance to help demystify the tender process – from MEAT to social value.”

“I developed a passion for all things business at an early age” said Rachel.
“I enjoy solving complex problems and love a challenge. The various support I provide businesses means I get to help business owners overcome obstacles and unlock potential, which is incredibly rewarding.”
Entrepreneurs Unleashed, sponsored by Belfast City Council, will feature a diverse and dynamic lineup of speakers who will share their expertise on a wide range of topics essential for entrepreneurial success.
Event attendees will have the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, exchange ideas and explore new business opportunities, making it an incredible opportunity for both budding entrepreneurs and seasoned business leaders.
Speakers at the conference include Tina Calder herself, Michael McAdam (Movie House Cinemas), Adam McBride & Carole King (Excalibur Press), Gary Gates & Cara Marks (Neurodiversity Spark), Kevin O’Reilly (Toastmasters), Lisa McCaul (Belfast Met), Katie Matthews Furphy (Mind Tribe UK), Chiho Tang (Oranga), Jenny Irvine (Raise Ventures), Mark Johnston (Johnston Financial Solutions), Lisa Strutt (Career Reboot) and Amy Martin (Scaffold Digital) among others.
Event host and conference creator chief vision officer of Excalibur Press Tina Calder highlighted the importance of Entrepreneurs Unleashed.
She said: “Excalibur Press works with dozens of entrepreneurs each year and the one thing we realised was there wasn’t an event completely dedicated to those small to medium businesses who wanted to find ways of taking their business to the next level.
“We are lucky to have a fantastic array of corporate partners, consultants, and associates we work with on a regular basis so we decided to incorporate the fantastic expertise and knowledge they bring to our extended team.”
Attendees can expect to leave the event equipped with practical tips and strategies to help them grow their businesses, along with valuable opportunities to network with fellow entrepreneurs and business leaders.
Entrepreneurs Unleashed is sponsored by Belfast City Council, Belfast Met, MovieHouse, MCS Branding, Oranga Creative, Media Print & Design and Excalibur Press.
