Following a five year career at an international accounting firm, Emma started her first business at 27, from a spare room in her Manchester apartment. That business was sold 18 months later, and the experience led to Emma’s next venture, Enterprise Nation. Its website (www.enterprisenation.com) was launched in 2006 and became the most popular for home business owners in the UK, attracting over 100, 000 visitors each month.
In seven years, Enterprise Nation has grown into a community of over 75, 000 homegrown businesses that find help and support on its website, in its books and at live events. In 2011, the company gave away over £10, 000 in funding to UK start-ups, and has recently launched a premium membership scheme, which helps its members promote their businesses and take their venture to the next level.
Emma is also a co-founder of Start Up Britain, a national campaign to encourage more people to start a business.
In July 2012, Emma was awarded an MBE for services to enterprise.
