Zoe White on how a business support group in Enfield can help entrepreneurs thrive and grow

I am a local business leader and entrepreneur and I am now proud to serve as an ambassador for BIPC Enfield, part of the Business and Intellectual Property Centre (BIPC) network connected to the British Library.

The BIPC network provides advice, inspiration, and practical support to entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small businesses across the UK, helping people turn ideas into thriving enterprises.

I’m absolutely delighted to volunteer my time and use my 20-plus years of business experience to support others here in Enfield. It’s a real privilege to help those who are at the pre-start-up stage, running start-ups, micro businesses or community interest companies (CICs) to grow, develop, connect and make their dreams a reality.

I am a designer-maker and the owner of Zinfinity, which sells inclusive jewellery and runs creative workshops. Having joined BIPC Enfield during the first week of manager James Baxter’s appointment, it’s been a joy to work together on building a vibrant local business community.

I’m thrilled to see an institution as prestigious as the British Library choosing to bring this initiative right here to Edmonton. Starting a business and keeping up skills in a business can be very expensive, paying for various programmes, workshops or even advice. BIPCs provide free help, advice and workshops, so you can get a much help as you need without pressure and explore opportunities.

I have now become the face of BIPC Enfield’s latest publicity campaign. This means I am now appearing on buses across more than 20 routes! It’s completely surreal, but an absolute thrill to see myself on the side of buses promoting the British Library and BIPC Enfield. To think that a normal person like me is up there in the same space where there are images of film stars and theatre promotions, is just incredible.

Keep an eye out for more promotional material around the Enfield area and, if you’re curious about what the BIPC and Enfield Council can offer, pop into Edmonton Green Library.
