- Meet monthly, giving connections time to grow naturally
- Arrange valuable one-to-ones between meetings
- Visit other nearby WMB groups and widen your network
- Share ideas, challenges and opportunities with women who get it
- Learn and grow through inspiring speakers and shared experiences

New here? Start with your first meeting.
Come along, meet the group and see how it feels.
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.

What I appreciate most about the Women Means Business ethos and Philippa's guidance is how natural it makes networking feel. With meetings held online 3 times per month, it’s easy to build genuine connection with other members. It's not about forced interactions; it's about finding ways to help each other, building trust and growing our businesses too.
