PSN is pushing to modernise and enhance support for entrepreneurs at every stage of their business journeys — producing a revitalised, nationwide programme of training and networking functions with local experts for each city.

Entrepreneurs in property, finance, lending, and construction can gain insight and meet fellow professionals across the network by getting involved with a catalogue of corporate gigs designed to increase business support. 

The focus of every PSN event is on delivering sessions starring high-calibre contributors that go further than simple presentations and engage with audiences on a personal level, helping entrepreneurs get started from scratch or scale up at speed.

The new PSN leadership team is steered by Trish McGirr, managing director for education, publishing and events at Finanze, who is already collaborating with Finanze founder Alastair Hoyne (pictured above), on similar business education platform Finanze Success.

Trish says that initial interest in the firm’s programme — both from members and speakers — has been “phenomenal”. 

“When the opportunity came around to buy PSN, it was an absolute no-brainer,” she continued.

The new-look network — which is designed to be as accessible as possible — includes the introduction of low-cost options for members such as season tickets and discounts, as well as bonuses and joining incentives. 

Trish also commented on the relationship between PSN and Finanze: “We saw what PSN was trying to do and knew we could help realise its potential," she said, adding that the firm was a perfect fit for the Finanze family.

“Every event will have a themed approach - beginning with gatherings in Manchester, Birmingham and London," Trish continued.

“After that, we’ll look to expand into other cities and keep building the kind of business community that gives members guidance that really helps them in their career, whatever stage they may be at."
