The Workhouse Enniskillen will host Founders in Conversation: Workhouse Edition on Thursday 30 April, bringing together founders, entrepreneurs, and support organisations for an evening of honest discussion, practical insight, and meaningful connection.
Taking place from 5:00pm to 7:30pm, the event will create space for real conversations about what it takes to start, grow, and sustain a business, particularly within a regional and rural context.
A brilliant panel line-up, with strong local insight:
Susan McKane, British Business Bank
Jessica Shaw, Enniskinn
Nigel Bogle, EPOS Cubed
Gary Davidson, Founder & Advisor
Chris McClelland, Founder & Advisor
Together, they will share their experiences across early-stage development, scaling businesses, navigating challenges, and lessons learned along the way. The focus is firmly on practical insight rather than theory, offering attendees a clearer understanding of the realities behind building a business.
The event also brings together a strong network of ecosystem partners, providing attendees with direct access to organisations that support entrepreneurs at different stages of their journey. Partners include Ormeau Labs, Young Social Innovators, Future Screens NI, Techstars Belfast, and Founder Labs.
A spokesperson for The Workhouse Enniskillen said the event is about strengthening the visibility and voice of founders in the region:
“This is about creating a space where people can hear directly from those who are building businesses, understanding both the opportunities and the challenges. It’s also about connecting founders to the wider support network that exists, and making those pathways more visible and accessible from here.”
The evening is open to anyone considering starting a business, currently building one, or looking to connect into the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with speakers and partners, ask questions, and build relationships in an informal setting.
