Steven Bartlett Announced As Ambassador For Vodafone's SME Training Initiative

Steven Bartlett, the latest Trailblazer on Dragon’s Den and co-founder of Social Chain has been announced as an Ambassador for Vodafone’s SME training initiative.

Part of this role will see Bartlett increase awareness of Vodafone’s programme connected to businesses, also a joint commitment with small business support group Enterprise Nation launched in May 2021, which is aimed at helping 100,000 small businesses develop their digital capabilities by summer 2022.

At present the programme has already helped 46,000, with Vodafone now increasing the target to 150,000. The addition of Bartlett will utilise his digital skills to help SME owners progress their businesses.

Steven Bartlett said: “The business world, especially now, is moving quickly and this isn’t going to stop anytime soon - it’s important that businesses adopt a ‘designed for change’ ethic and keep up with emerging trends. I also know first-hand that making the most of the digital tools that are available to you and your business can really make a difference - not only when it comes to growing your business, but also when it comes to building your ambition, passion and confidence to continue doing what you love."

The initiative is free to access for business figures and is accessed through Vodafone’s V-Hub, which supports business setup online, digital marketing, cybersecurity and more for SME’s.
