Women over recent years have become more prominent in the market place with the ability to manage a business and home life efficiently. With more ladies opting for the self employment option, exclusive support is needed. Whilst many only concentrate on ladies moving into self employment, Wenta are also assisting those into employment.

Programs have therefore been developed across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire to address this need.

This is a slightly strange news item.

I would have expected it to mention locations in Watford where the "doors" mentioned above can be found.

Perhaps too, a mention of helping all ages, and an indication of what support there is offered in making financial arrangements.

I don't mean handouts of money, or even repayable grants (although younger applicants should qualify via the Prince's Trust), but help is often needed for the basics such as opening a business bank account.

In these financially straightened times there should be an opening for one of the Watford banks to create a partnership with WENTA so as to provide these self-employment start-ups with the right business accounts.

I know I may be considered "picky" but what exactly is this jargon "Prowess" and "...progressing to flagship status"? Explanations needed please WENTA so would you kindly step down from your ivory tower and join us in the real world?

Finally, I am not entirely sure that the "Women" of the article heading will be thrilled to be descibed s "Ladies" later on. Somehow I suspect this piece was written by a man!!!!
