Thanks Mo

What an inspiring start to an otherwise uninspiring (weather wise) Tuesday morning 👏

Great to be attending @FundHerNorth's first pitching event for female founders across the North of England and looking forward to hearing from six startups this morning!

Really looking forward to being part of today’s #FundHerNorthLaunch @FundHerNorth with @helenoldham @dicheese

[FundHerNorth @FundHerNorth]

Excited to kick off our launch even today with opening remarks from @helenoldham taken from our pre-event @assentyapp polls!

👼80% don't know the difference between angels and VCs
👻50% afraid to approach investors for funding, even if they know who they want to speak to!

We launched today! But who are we? A little thread:

We are FundHer North, an influential collective of women in investment supporting women entrepreneurs in the North to succeed.

I contacted you 4x yesterday and was told you are all so busy you can’t call anyone back. Your email showed you hadnt read any customer history. I waited all day for a response to when my chairs will arrive and still don’t have one. I’ve travelled 5x on single days for delivery.

[Cox & Cox @coxandcoxuk]

@helenoldham I am so very sorry for the experience you have had with us. this is certainly not what we would expect our customers to experience. I have emailed you yesterday and I am currently investigating this and will be in contact with you shortly to advise further,

[Helen Oldham @helenoldham]

Staff & managers at @coxandcoxuk told to only answer incoming calls today. No call backs even to customers who had travelled four hours to take delivery of an item which hadn’t arrrived for the 5th time. https://t.co/85aFegEXt0

[Helen Oldham @helenoldham]

@coxandcoxuk @thetimes @MyTimesPlus However I suggest you wait. @coxandcoxuk are inundated with orders, unable to respond to customer enquires or fulfill them. No solution even from CEO Richard Bell today after travelling 5 separate times to Whitby to take receipt of 6 chairs.

[Helen Oldham @helenoldham]

Unfortunately this this has led them to be unable to fulfill orders or answer customer complaints. The business needs a serious review https://t.co/85aFegEXt0. @coxandcoxuk
