Look at what our members say!We are helping women at every stage of their enterprise journey

The Growth Programme has enabled me to

take time out to evaluate my business and my

own role within it. The excellent presenters

provided great tips, ideas and getting out

there and meeting other really inspiring local

women in business has been wonderful. We

have been able to exchange views and issues

in a confidential environment which has been

unbelievably helpful.

Amanda Barlow,

Spiezia Organics

I have appreciated the company, knowledge

sharing and dynamism of the other ladies

within the Enterprising Women group. Hearing

from the voices of experience gave me

confidence in what was being delivered, and

sharing knowledge with the other women was

highly beneficial to me.

Annabelle Sylvester,

Port Gaverne Hotel

As a businesswoman, I was met with some

prejudice in the early years as I was a working

mum and it did not suit everyone around me,

but I ignored them. Becoming a member of

Enterprising Women has given me greater

confidence, alongside training and meeting

other like-minded women who face similar

problems. I know Enterprising Women is there

when I need support and advice.

We are always looking for hosts for our

business clubs. If you see the need for

a club in your local area and are interested

in becoming a host, just email us at

info@enterprising-women.org

or give us a call on 0800 0121 365.

Some time ago I was lucky enough to get

some mentoring arranged by Enterprising

Women. It exceeded my expectations.

I enjoyed access to a fellow professional

to bounce ideas off in a structured manner

to progress my business. It has helped me

think outside the box, and gain a new sense

of direction.
