Northamptonshire Enterprise Ltd in association with Northamptonshire County Council is delighted to announce their enterpRISING capABILITY - the key to success event, taking place at Kettering Conference Centre on Monday 22nd March, 2010. 

We are delighted to have Beverley Burton as keynote speaker at the event, an Enterprise Consultant and Director of no limits and an undisputed expert in the enterprise education arena.  Beverley’s organisation no limits specialises in developing enterprise skills and capability which involves work in schools and other public and private sector bodies.

Passionate about learning, Beverley has pursued her ideal of the holistic development of young people: enabling learners to succeed, regardless of their background or environment. Raising aspirations, expectations and achievement has been her mission for the past 30 years and she founded no limits in 2001. In 2009 she started no limits Foundation, a social enterprise focused on developing and enabling enterprising young people. The activity of the Foundation is focused around developing “the enterprise factory” in a disused factory building in Nottingham.
