DIGITAL ENTREPRENEUR LUCY HALL SECURES £250K INVESTMENT TO DRIVE BUSINESS GROWTH
Lucy Hall, Founder of Skills of the Future Ltd, has secured £250,000 in private investment funding to fuel the expansion of her digital upskilling platform. The funding, secured with the support of NatWest’s Entrepreneur Accelerator Hub in London, will enable Hall to grow her business, create new job and freelance opportunities, and strengthen her mission of equipping entrepreneurs, professionals, and students with essential digital skills.
EMPOWERING ENTREPRENEURS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
A community-focused digital publisher and events company, Skills of the Future Ltd provides 365-day support through peer-to-peer mentoring, media events, and specialist panels—all designed to help individuals adapt to an evolving digital landscape. With a strong emphasis on fostering talent and innovation, the company’s expansion is expected to enhance its resource base and widen its reach across the UK.
Hall, who has been part of the NatWest Entrepreneur Accelerator programme for the past 11 months, credits the initiative with helping her develop investment-ready skills and navigate the funding process.
“As a female founder, it can feel discouraging when the statistics for business investment aren’t in your favour,” said Lucy Hall. “The NatWest Entrepreneur Accelerator Hub has been invaluable in building my confidence and overcoming self-doubt throughout the investment process. It’s really opened my eyes to new ways of managing and growing the business, and I’ve learned about funding opportunities that I never thought were possible.”
SUPPORTING FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS
Beyond Skills of the Future Ltd, Hall is a prominent advocate for female founders in the business community. Her female-focused platform, Digital Women, offers peer-to-peer learning, networking, and digital education to help women navigate the complexities of today’s tech-driven world.
Luke Pamflett, Accelerator Community Manager at NatWest, praised Hall’s achievements, stating: “We are huge advocates of entrepreneurial talent in London and the South-East, as well as across the UK. The Entrepreneur Accelerator Hub empowers entrepreneurs to scale their business to the next level through one-to-one coaching, thought leadership events, and specialist expertise.
“Skills of the Future Ltd is one of the many success stories from the programme. It has been amazing to see Lucy’s unwavering passion and enthusiasm for business—we’re excited to see what the future holds for her.”
With a strong investment foundation, a growing network, and a clear focus on digital empowerment, Hall’s Skills of the Future Ltd is poised to become a key player in the UK’s digital learning and business support ecosystem.
