 Hello, my name is Donna-Ray Campbell and I write the 'Event Update' column on behalf of Stimulus for the Entrepreneurial Report.


The Stimulus 'Main Event' is a monthly event where we strive to collaborate with corporates and member businesses to provide solutions and products that are 'SME friendly' for our members. These products and services are aimed to catalyze the growth of our member businesses by providing services for them that would otherwise be unattainable or just beyond their financial or capability reach.
