The Greater Manchester social enterprise sector came together this week for Together Works 2010, a business networking event held at MadLab, Manchester.

Attended by social enterprises, support agencies and funders, the lively event included a panel discussion on the threats and opportunities for social enterprise in 2011. Speakers included Paul Halfpenny of Wigan Recycles, Jane Fraser of Commission for New Economy, Dave Dawes of Entreprenurses and Frank Titley of Blue Orchid. Video of the discussion will appear here soon.

The evening was rounded off by the Together Works AGM at which two new directors were elected, Matthew Finnegan of Sound Communication and Mike Abrham of Mutual Business Advice.
