Mark Johnston, a commercial finance expert from Derry/Londonderry, has been confirmed as a speaker at this month’s Entrepreneurs Unleashed conference.
The event, taking place at the Cathy Short Theatre in North Belfast on November 28, is designed to inspire and empower entrepreneurs with the practical knowledge and insights needed to elevate their businesses.
Run by multi-disciplinary media and marketing agency Excalibur Press, the inaugural instalment of Entrepreneurs Unleashed is set to be a pivotal gathering for local business leaders seeking to unlock their growth potential.
Mark, Director of Johnston Financial Solutions and Chartered Banker, will be delivering his speech titled ‘Financing Growth: How Commercial Finance Can Help You To Grow Your Business’ next week, drawing on his 35 years of experience in the financial services sector.
Set to share valuable insights on how manufacturing firms can effectively scale and stabilise their operations, Mark will discuss how securing the right funding, managing financial risks and making informed financial decisions can support long-term growth in the manufacturing industry.
Stating what attendees of the conference can expect to hear on November 28, Mark explained that his session will focus on tailored monetary solutions which are designed to help businesses meet their unique challenges and seize growth opportunities.
He said: “At the conference, I’ll be sharing strategies that businesses can use to navigate the complex financial landscape and find tailored solutions that fit their unique needs and growth objectives.
“The session aims to demystify the process of securing growth funding, making it more accessible to business owners and managers who may not have extensive financial expertise.
“I hope listeners will develop an understanding of what the next step is they need to take to access finance.”
Entrepreneurs Unleashed promises a dynamic lineup of speakers who will share their expertise on a wide range of topics crucial for entrepreneurial success.
Tina Calder, Chief Vision Officer at parent company Excalibur Press and the visionary behind the event, highlighted the conference’s importance in the current climate.
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.”
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.
