All bankers within Coutts Entrepreneurs go through training based on the Cranfield Business Growth Programme and we continue to work closely with the Management School to help provide valuable insight in to Coutts reports and valued speakers at Coutts events. We also sponsor a number of social entrepreneurs through a bursary that is provided by Coutts to help them participate in the Cranfield Business Growth Programme.

The British Association of Women Entrepreneurs (BAWE) has been in existence since the early 1950’s. It is an exclusive women’s business network, focussed on supporting female entrepreneurs who have built or who are building high growth, globally recognised, sustainable and profitable businesses. Headed by president Deb Leary, herself an established and extremely successful entrepreneur, BAWE acts as a peer group for women entrepreneurs who want to be challenged and offers a world of connections through its association with the FCEM World Association of Women Entrepreneurs, providing real opportunities to make global connections and develop international trade opportunities. Coutts will be hosting a number of educational and networking events with BAWE later this year. Check our online events calendar for more details.
