Norfolk Network Top Ten Speakers: Yvonne Mason



After business success, what then?

As well as hearing stories of the challenges and rewards of business life, it's interesting to hear how a successful business person can reach beyond their core expertise and engage with their community. Yvonne Mason shared with the Norfolk Network her story of building Fendercare, a successful business providing marine products.

However, a re-newed purpose came in 2005, when Yvonne sold her company to found The Mason Trust.

The objective of The Mason Trust is to provide inspirational guidance to young people, either isolated or deprived in town or country, and raise their aspirations to acheive their full potential. The Mason Trust continues to forge links with education, providing events such as 'Fit For Your Future' to offer career advice and create opportunities for training and first steps to employment. The Trust also created a funding programme to help individuals and organisations with their ideas and projects.

Yvonne shared a great story for NN members – to hopefully suggest another way of working and pay it forward to others.
