This week we concluded our third birthday celebrations with two incredible meets ups! On Tuesday we visited Saffron Walden Town Hall to join forces with Uttlesford District Council for a very thought provoking panel event, where Ambitious Women Chantelle Dyson, Amanda Waite, Abigail North, Clare Reid and Mikki Rom shared insights into their businesses. Huge thanks to them all for taking part, and to Sarah Lewin and Rachael Clark from UDC for making the event possible. I should also mention the largest, and most tastiest pastries supplied by local bakery The Loaf Tin Bakery - they were amazing! On Wednesday we visited the place where it all began for another meet up at Patch in Chelmsford. In all the excitement of the month, I had forgotten to sort a guest speaker, so guests were treated to me giving a whistlestop tour of the origins of Ambitious Women! (With help from Jo Living from ARU and Lauren Chalk from Newsquest who shared details of their latest offerings for business) And so our birthday celebrations are over for another year... huge thanks to all of you who have taken part and attended our four meet ups this month, and indeed the 48 previous ones (yes, up to 52 notches on our belt now) I massively appreciate all of your support, kind words and continued encouragement to keep this community running. #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #femalefounders #ambitiouswomen
