Well, I think that says it all! Yet, still so many female founded or co-founded businesses get so little investment. Yes, things are changing and we are also working on something exciting specially for female founded B2C consumer brands. If you are a founder of a B2C consumer brand with at least £1m turnover, follow us and we will he sure to invite you once we are ready with what we are cooking up with a few retail investors. #women #retail #femaleleaders #femalefounders #femaleentrepreneur #womenentrepreneurs #consumers #brands #b2c #womenofretail #womeninretail

There is no one way to lead nor is leadership one dimensional. It is about the whole human being you, your teams and customers are. You can't switch off being a woman, a mother, a friend, a wife from being a leader. In fact all these other social roles help you be a better leader as they allow you to practice vulnerability, compassion and resilience in a safer and more supportive environment than many businesses offer their leaders. When you then show up at your best or even at your worst self, but you do show up consistently for your people, they will feel safer and more inspired to show up for you. What helps you to show up as a leader? #women #retail #leadership #femaleleaders #diversity #inclusion #vulnerability #compassion #empathy #womeninretail #womenofretail Elizabeth Preis

Women are truly a powerhouse! Running your own business is not easy. On an average day you have at least about 10 jobs: sales, marketing, delivery, strategy, administration, accounting, HR, legal, operations... Tired just thinking about it 😪 On top of that women are mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, friends and their own beings. All of these individuals need our time, effort and investment. That is a lot of different forces pulling us in so many directions, yet we rise and excel every day. Ok, maybe not every day, but on average. Yes, it is OK to have a bad day, to doubt yourself, to procrastinate, to cry, to scream, to withdraw... Whatever we do to help us survive and thrive is what supports us in running almost 20% of UK businesses. So bravo to you all!!! 👏 👏👏 #women #business #entrepreneurs #femalefounders #retail #power #femalebosses #superwoman

Yesterday, 26th August, in USA there was the National Women's Equality Day in celebration of introducing 19th Amendment in 1920 which granted women the right to vote. This was something our grandmothers and great-grandmothers fighted for for a long time and what spearheaded other changes for gender equality. As much as we are not yet where we want to be with equal pay, parent leave, flexible working, equal access to job opportunities or even visibility of role models, we certainly have much more than women at the beginning of 20th century. This is something to be truly grateful for. So, thank you our grandmothers and great-grandmothers for all your hard work. Thank you to all the people that fight for equality every day. Together we are stronger! #women #retail #equality #righttovote #womenequalityday #leadership #rolemodels #flexibleworking #femaleleaders #femalefounders #womeninretail #womenofretail

Huge thank you Samantha Visick, Anna Fedele di Catrano and Anamika Datta for being a truly marvellous experts with vast experience and expertise. We could have talked for hours! Massive thank you to Leucepe Alexander M. and the whole eTail™ for giving us the platform to shine the light on the female retail talent and for organising brilliant champagne and chocolate reception for us as well.

We had an incredible time discussing the future of retail property with Hannah McNamara from P-THREE, Alice Rose McAnulty from Lone Design Club, Rachael Alexander from Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and Caroline Main FRICS from MAPP. The relationship between landlords and tenants is certainly undergoing a huge change and becoming more collaborative. The importance of investment in public realm development and its impact on community, all resulting in longer dwell time, higher satisfaction and ultimately making this destination a preferred place to be. The key to becoming the preferred destination was also a great mix of services, shops and especially children offering. Whole families and groups of friends need something way different than an alone shopper or a couple of friends catching up. Sustainability was a really big part of the conversation with all stakeholders being responsible for creating properties that save the planet, even if customers are actually not that interested in it. But let's be honest. The level of responsibility put on property developers, managers and on retail brands is huge. Without government support, better business rates and legislation supporting sustainable businesses there is only as much as we can all do. The effort is collaborative with all stakeholders working to the same goals. This is when we will actually create shopping destinations that are community-building, sustainable and profitable to all involved. #retail #property #design #community #shopping #future #event #women #femaleleaders

It's a rallying cry for organisations to embrace inclusivity, nurture talent, and pave equitable pathways to success. Evolving employee expectations and dynamic market landscapes, the imperative for cultivating a culture that empowers women in leadership resonates stronger than ever. Let's champion cultural shifts, break barriers, and pave the way for a more diverse and thriving retail landscape.
