Young entrepreneurs

How young entrepreneurs can survive and thrive in changeable times is the theme of the Dick Onians Memorial lecture to be held at the Royal Society of the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce in London on 2 June. The event is supported by Kleinwort Benson's Entrepreneurs Club, which was created in November 2000 principally for business owners with an increasing profit and turnover of more than pounds 1m and an aspiration to work towards a market quote or a successful business exit and is designed to create an environment for entrepreneurs to share ideas.

Speakers include Caroline Plumb, managing director of FreshMinds, which uses graduates to carry out market research and other tasks for businesses; Kevin McKay, director of the Scottish 'indie label' Breastfed Records, and Simone Schetman, co-founder of Teamworks Karting, which holds regular gokarting activities at a variety of sites around Britain.
