We at the RSA Trust are very excited by the news from our partners, Enterprise Enfield about the stunning results of their Inspiring Women programme.

Laura Sorrell and Tasneem Ismail met on the RSA Trust sponsored programme in 2009, and have since joined forces to promote their businesses. Sorrell’s Naturally bodycare products and Ismail’s Fair Play nightwear will share a stand at the Country Living Fair at the Business Design Centre in Islington, between the 17th – 23rd of March 2011 and the Spirit of Summer Fair at Kensington Olympia between the 11th – 14th May.

Laura explained to Enterprise Enfield,

We’ve supported each others’ businesses since we met on the programme – in 2009 we took on a show at NEC Birmingham together which really showed us that our combined businesses had a future. It’s all thanks to RSA Trust and Enterprise Enfield and the fantastic help and support we both received and continue to receive from the agency.  We’re looking forward to a long-established joint venture and successful collaboration for the future.”

Both brands are available online and the women are also seeking new local stockists, who share their passion for quality and ethical sourcing.  To celebrate their new partnership, Laura and Tasneem are offering a 10% discount until the end of March. Available at www.sorrellsnaturally.co.uk and www.fairplayproducts.com

We at the RSA Trust wish them well, and are glad to see the innovative spirit of Enfield is still as strong as ever.
