Meet The Sponsors: Donal Bannon, Partner of Morecrofts Solicitors

#IAmEnterprising is in full force! The deadline for submitting the first Business Briefs is over, and Business Bootcamp is on its way! So we thought that now would be the perfect time to introduce the sponsors of #IAmEnterprising. The sponsors are a massive part of the competition and help to make up the Prize Package for the winner of this year’s #IAmEnterprising!

Firstly, we are delighted to introduce Morecrofts Solicitors! This is Morecrofts second year as the headline sponsor of #IAmEnterprising and they are generously funding the £1,000 cash sponsorship that makes up the £3,000 Prize Package. This £1,000 cash can be used by the winner of the competition in whichever way they see fit to help them start their business. Whether that’s buying equipment, renting premises, buying marketing materials or throwing a launch party for the business! The £1,000 cash can be used for anything to do with the business idea!

So who are the wonderful Morecrofts? We found out…

‘Morecrofts is one of Liverpool’s oldest most respected businesses. In fact, you might be surprised to learn how old.

Established in 1813, we have been in existence longer than many of our city’s most recognisable landmarks. St George’s Hall, both iconic cathedrals, even the world famous Liver Building, were all built whilst we have been busy practising law on behalf of the city’s people and its businesses.’

Morecrofts Solicitors is one of Liverpool’s oldest Family Law Solicitors and most respected Private and Commercial Law Firms, now offering services nationwide. They pride themselves on legal excellence and exceptional customer service, a formula that has resulted in clients returning to them time and time again.

So now you know that who Morecrofts are, we’ve got some words of wisdom from Donal Bannon, who is a Partner there. Donal has been instrumental in the #IAmEnterprising competition, participating as a judge at last year’s Championship Event and will be helping the team at this year’s Business Bootcamp.

Here are Donal’s words of wisdom to the #IAmEnterprising competition entrants…

‘I would advise those entering the competition to plan their presentation for the Championship Event carefully, and think about their presentation. It should be clear who their target market is, how their business will be profitable and not face cash flow issues and what, if any, is the potential for growth’
