Shohreh Fleming Shows 'She Means Business'
09 Nov 2009
Prestige Network's Chief Executive, Shohreh Fleming, provided inspiration to more than 100 delegates when she took part in a one-day business start-up event for women earlier this month (5 November).
The 'She Means Business!' seminar was part of a regional What's Stopping You event in Slough, Berkshire. It was staged by Business Link Berkshire, with funding from the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA).
The objective of the one day women's event was to encourage women who may have thought of starting up in business but haven't yet taken the next steps and don't know who to turn to, as well as to help women who have already started a business and are in the first 12 months of trading, to sustain and grow their business.
Shohreh said: "It was very flattering to be asked to be a panellist. I was asked to speak on how I started my own business, the hurdles I overcame and any help I sought along the way."
Shohreh started her own language services company - Prestige Network Ltd - with her brother Shawn, who is now the company’s Business Development Director. The company recently celebrated huge financial success with the announcement that its turnover soared 65% in the last 12 months to a phenomenal £3 million.
Shohreh added: "It was a very enjoyable day - in fact, I loved doing it because I was talking about something I have a passion for. It's a subject I could talk about from my heart. The only problem was working out how to fit 18 years of a successful business into an eight-minute presentation!
"I finished up by reminding people that their success has nothing to do with the recession or the outside world - it's all about what’s inside! Quite a few people came up afterwards and asked for individual advice."
