Serial Entrepreneur and BBC “Dragons’ Den” star Doug Richard is coming to Letterkenny to host a one-day seminar for new and existing businesses on 15th October.  The seminar will focus on how to start and grow a successful business, drawing on Doug’s huge experience both as a businessman and as a successful investor in other businesses.  The one-day workshop is being organised by Donegal County Enterprise Board and will take place at the Letterkenny Institute of Technology.

“Doug hosted a ‘Dragons’ Den’ workshop in March, as part of Enterprising Donegal Business Week, which was booked out, and the feedback from the attendees was incredible”, said Ursula Donnelly, Assistant CEO of Donegal County Enterprise Board.  “Since then we’ve been trying to get him to return to Letterkenny and I’m delighted to confirm that he’ll be hosting our October event”.

 “I look forward to an intense day in Letterkenny”, said Doug Richard. “I got to meet some great people in March and I’m expecting even better for the seminar.  During the seminar we’ll look at the tools you can use to make your business a success and see how to avoid some common pitfalls, based on my own experience.  My message is that you can improve a lot with very little.”

Doug Richard’s ‘School for Start-Ups’ one day Seminar, hosted by Donegal County Enterprise Board, will take place on Friday 15th October, 2010 from 8.30am to 4.30pm in Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT), County Donegal.
