Forresters supports University of Chester Venture Pitch Programme
Published:
Forresters was proud to support the University of Chester‘s Venture Pitch programme once again this year, a unique opportunity for student entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to a panel of judges and be in with a chance of winning bespoke business support prizes.
On this year’s judging panel was Forresters Senior Associate David Murphy, who told us:
I am always impressed by the enthusiasm of the student entrepreneurs involved in Venture Pitch. Their ideas and business plans show real promise, and it is clear that a great deal of thought and effort goes into their presentations. It is a privilege for Forresters to be involved in this programme and provide initial IP support to help these budding entrepreneurs take their first steps into the world of business.

Fifteen entrepreneurs received prizes at the event, including Angharad Davies and her business partner Georgia Croud, who founded Goodgirl Creative. Their business connects women and promotes self-expression through empowerment-focused photography and events.
In addition to business and marketing coaching, Angharad and Georgia received a trade mark consultation with Forresters Partner Kate Cruse. Forresters are providing the fees required for Angharad and Georgia to pursue a trade mark application.
Following the consultation, Kate said:
It was a pleasure to discuss the importance of trade mark registration with Angharad. It is clear Angharad and Georgia are passionate about their brand and contributing to positive change. Forresters looks forward to further assisting Goodgirl Creative with their trade mark application, and wish them the very best for the future.
We would like to congratulate all participating student entrepreneurs on their well-deserved prizes. Forresters looks forward to following their journeys to becoming successful brands in the future.
