You don’t need to be a confident networker or know anyone before you arrive. Your first WMB meeting is simply a chance to experience our friendly, thoughtfully structured approach, introduce your business and start making genuine connections with women who get it.
Expect a warm welcome, relaxed conversation and plenty of opportunities to connect — whether you’re just starting out or have years of business experience behind you.
Love your first meeting? Make WMB part of your business.
More than membership. A network that has your back.
Becoming a WMB member opens the door to more connections, more support and more opportunities to grow.
From regular networking and Power Groups to skills workshops, expert advice and connections across the wider WMB network, membership surrounds you with women who will share their experience, champion your successes and support you through the challenges too.
Because building a business is easier when you don’t have to do it alone.

In-Person Networking Hosts
Our Hosts are business owners and professionals themselves, so they understand the realities of making connections and growing a business. From Julie Savage, a Virtual Assistant in Bath, and Vicki Powell of Feed Yourself Well in Bristol, to Kaye King of Marketing Mentor Kaye in Cheltenham and Fenella Hemus of Above and Beyond Coaching in North Somerset, they bring their own experience, personality and expertise to the WMB community.
Most importantly, they’re there to welcome you, make introductions and help you feel comfortable and connected from the moment you arrive.
Wherever you walk into a WMB meeting, a warm welcome is waiting.

Jo Weatherall
Menopause Wellness Coach
I joined Women Mean Biz almost 3 years ago and it has been a wholly positive experience. The network is such a friendly and inspiring environment and I have built confidence in speaking about my business and grown my business and leadership skills. I have also made genuine friendships. I'm a solopreneur working from home and the monthly lunch meetings give me connection, inspiration and support, while the workshops have broadened and deepened my skills in business. I have met many talented women, some of whom I have worked with to receive massage, personal training, animal communication, web design and more, as well as improve my skills in public speaking and marketing. I love connecting people, it's one of my gifts, so I feel in exactly the right place in this network of women uplifting each other. I am very grateful to Philippa Constable and the women in the WMB network.

I found WMB early in my journey as a business owner - I knew I needed to get myself out there! I'd tried other business networks but found them too corporate for me. WMB was a breath of fresh air, structured enough to showcase your business and informal enough to really get to know your fellow business women. WMB has given me the confidence to get out there and talk about my business, my group makes me feel supported and inspired!
