Running your own small business can be quite isolating and I work on my own – it’s good to be part of something and have opportunities to join networking and training events, or use some of the online support and forums.
Role Models, Ambassadors and success stories
We find our members inspiring and are proud to share some of their motivating profiles here. Many have become Ambassadors, freely giving their time to tell their stories and encourage more young women to think about an entrepreneurial career through talking at schools, colleges and universities.
Some are our dynamic Business Club hosts, putting back into their communities and growing their relationships and local networks to connect and support businesswomen. Other have overcome real hardship to find their way to success and show what can be achieved with determination and ambition. We hope you’ll be inspired too!
