THE phrase “Girl Power” might have all but died out since the days of the Spice Girls but a group of female entrepreneurs in Leeds is determined to power their companies to new heights.
Business support group Female Emerging Entrepreneurs (FEE) was launched in 2006 by Etta Cohen, managing director of Leeds-based women’s networking group Forward Ladies, together with entrepreneur Deirdre Bounds, who founded Leeds volunteer travel firm i-to-i, and Sharon Cain, managing director of Harrogate-based of Quest PR.
Run under the Forward Ladies umbrella, FEE operates three groups, two of which meet in Leeds.

After five years working in branding, marketing and website design for Scottish Life and the Royal London group, Sarah Robertson realised that her plan of going to Uni was obsolete. Sufficiently versed in design, marketing and e-business, last June she decided instead to fulfil her entrepreneurial ambitions and started her own company – Creative State. Now she’s providing new business start-ups with full brand, design and online makeovers. Malcolm Jack finds out how Sarah got an eye for the new guy.

A young Scots designer helping small businesses to change their online image has been recognised by the BT Scotland E-ntrepreneurs award scheme.
Sarah Jane Robertson originally set up her business in Edinburgh with the aim of helping established and new businesses get online. She creates new images for companies and revamps a tired logo or brand. Sarah was helped in business by the BT scheme, which encourages young people to use e-commerce to boost their start-up companies.
The BT awards scheme, now in its sixth year, is run by Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT) which helps young people aged 18-25 to set up and grow their businesses. Via the initiative, BT Scotland is investing a total amount of £50,000 in new or young Scottish businesses this year.
