SUFFOLK entrepreneurs and business leaders who have enlisted on a scheme to encourage the launch of more new firms have been given a masterclass in the art of story-telling.

The 17 “Enterprise Superstars” have signed up to a programme organised by the Eastern Enterprise Hub to act as ambassadors to share their business experiences with audiences around the county and help other individuals realise their potential as an entrepreneur.

While the ability to tell a good story may not have been key to the success of the “superstars” so far, it will be crucial in their new role, and so the enterprise hub, based on the Ipswich Waterfront, organised a workshop delivered by master storyteller Suzanne Arnold from Story Revolution, a social enterprise which aims to reinforce social cohesion through the art of story telling.

Training for the superstars will be completed over the next week with a further session on presentation skills delivered by media and presentation specialist Warrick Partington of MTM.

Any of the Superstars can be booked to speak by contacting the Eastern Enterprise Hub on 01473 527100 or by visiting www.eehub.co.uk .
