As a resident country bumpkin the one challenge I've always had is EVERYTHING seems to happen in the capital, "quick meetings", drinks or suppers need careful planning when you bolt on a 6+hour round trip around them! But I am not alone... there are many of us running thriving businesses outside of London. We do exist! In fact in BUY WOMEN BUILT we make up a whopping 49% of the now almost 2000 strong movement! So this was our first official meet up closer to home turf for us all at The Ivy Collection Birmingham for founders based outside of London . A big thank you to Rothschild & Co for inviting a handful of us and for hosting such a lovely evening. To Sahar Hashemi OBE, indebted as always for getting us all together and talking in the first place - and, of course making BWB what it is today ❤️ #thankyou #entreprenuerlife #scalingbusinesses #femalefounded

All looking beautiful. Gutted to have missed it as Covid decided to make a comeback 🙄

Looks like a great support network for female founders as I am now residing and working in Cumbria, would it be possible to be a part of this network/come to one of these events Emma?
