Presenter biography:

Maria is an accomplished Business Owner, Consultant, Trainer, Coach, Mentor and specialist Grant Adviser, having secured in excess of £2.1m in grants for her clients since 2017. In addition, she has worked as a Growth Accelerator Coach, Digital Business Adviser, and Scale Up Adviser. She is also currently a Lead Coach on a number of Peer 2 Peer programs within the UK.

Maria has felt the pain and frustration of compiling grants from both sides, as a business owner striving to access funding to support growth but also supporting businesses as an adviser to wade through the processes, picking up many tips, tools and endless advice along the way.

But most of all, Maria will deliver the session in a fun, practical and relaxed way, so grab a coffee, paper and pen and let’s win some funding!!
