Joanna Santion, EY Entrepreneur of The Year Partner Lead said: “EY is delighted to be supporting the FoundHER festival again this year, as it extends its reach from London and Manchester to Glasgow. EY has supported entrepreneurs for the last 20 years in the UK through the EY Entrepreneur of The Year programme. Working closely with fast growth businesses we have seen a clear need for female entrepreneurs to have better access to networks to help them grow and scale. In FoundHER, AllBright has created a forum to bring together successful female founders with those starting out on their entrepreneurial journey.”
