🚆 From Shoreditch to Newport – connecting the dots for Wales’ startup ecosystem! A fantastic day kicking off at Barclays Eagle Labs in Shoreditch, meeting Emily Pugh and the team and seeing the innovation work happening first hand, then straight back to Tramshed Tech Griffin Newport to catch up with Chris Skinner and see the Veteran and Military Spouse Meet-Up in full swing.

Celebrating International Women’s Week! When women support women, the whole world rises... 👏 Starting the week in No. 10 Downing Street, celebrating St David’s Day alongside some of the best women in business I know, including Whisper Carys Owens. From there, the momentum continued with the She Who event, where over 250 people came together to champion and uplift women in Wales. Then an amazing evening organised by Chris Skinner and Emily Pugh for International Women’s Day, highlighting the power of community, innovation, and inclusion. Emily was a fantastic host and the panel insights made a long day totally worth it Thank you Jessica Phillips-Harris Carol Hall Kate Bache 👏 And to round it all off, I ended on a high with Bethan Darwin's Superwomen event joining Sarah Smith (Diolch) we missed you Jessica Phillips-Harris. Helen Molyneux delivered an awe-inspiring speech, proving that when women combine bold ideas with unstoppable momentum, they don’t just spark change—they change the world. 💡✨ and where the poetic words of Sharon James Evans uplifted the whole of the classroom! "Let’s forage a path forward where all voices blend, Recognising women as our allies, sisters, and friends. As it’s only together we can fully realise our collective power, Only together, Superwomen, we can truly empower!"
