The Enterprising Women group has had an incredibly successful summer with lots of events well attended and some outstanding guest speakers and performers involved. We now have our sights set on
upcoming events over the autumn and winter months and look forward to welcoming new and regular faces to join the vibrant group. The networking group aims to
provide a wide range of learning and development opportunities for businesswomen who want to enhance their skill set, network with likeminded individuals and be inspired by female leaders across various industries. Discussing the value of
Enterprising Women events, a recent attendee said: “The event was extremely beneficial and has been the most motivating and empowering networking event that I have attended”. With the Enterprising Women
Award nominations opening very soon, it is a great time to ensure upcoming events are in your diary. The next event is on Thursday

Best wishes, Jean and Eileen, Co-chairs of Enterprising Women
