Hear Ewgeco founder Tanya Ewing on Radio 4

Tanya Ewing has agreed to share her experience of running Tayeco to Radio 4 Women’s Hour listeners

In a special series across 2011, Woman’s Hour will be following the fortunes of three women who are determined to develop and expand their companies – despite the challenging economic climate. The three businesses came about in very different ways and have to tackle a range of problems if they are to come out on top over the next twelve months. The next year is going to be make or break for many small enterprises, so what determines whether a business ends the year in profit or sinks into debt?

Chapter 1:

As part of our women in business series, we catch up with one of our three featured business women – Tanya Ewing. Exasperated that she couldn’t make sense of her gas bill, Tanya invented an energy monitor using a simple traffic light system to show how much electricity, gas and water is being used. She shows her mentor, Nora Senior, Executive Chair of a global PR company, the factory in Glasgow where her monitors are put together.
