A Lanarkshire Women in Business event has been confirmed after the last one was a success.
The next event will be based at Excelsior Stadium, the home of Airdrieonians Football Club, and attendees will be able to get help in developing a winning mindset for business to achieve start-up and growth goals.
The free event will take place on August 31 from 11.30am until 2pm, and speakers will include Nicole Rudder the managing director of G4 Claims Ltd and Ann Marie Ballantyne the accountant and club secretary of Airdrieonians Football Club.
Nicole Rudder is also the proud new owner of Garrion Tower in Wishaw and has ambitious plans to invest £5 million in its refurbishment to create a new luxury wedding venue in Lanarkshire.
Ann Marie Ballantyne also runs JR Management Consultancy and has a client portfolio stretching from London to Aberfeldy.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in round table ‘breakthrough sessions’ to overcome business barriers. These will help new and existing business owners to access as well as share advice and experience.
Business Gateway Lanarkshire advisers will also be in attendance to help with guidance and support.
Councillor Maureen Devlin, depute chairwoman of the council's community and enterprise resources committee, said: “The first face-to-face Women in Business event to take place since the pandemic was a huge success.
“Held at the Strathaven Hotel in June, we had more than 70 businesses attending, and the speakers were excellent.
“I am very much looking forward to this next one and once again the speakers have a huge variety of experience of the business world.
“The women’s Euros captured the imagination of football fans across the country – we are looking to do the same with women in business, by offering them help and support to grow, launch or expand their businesses.”
Lanarkshire Women In Business events are targeted at upcoming and existing business women as well as those working in business seeking personal and professional development.
The initiative is a partnership made up of South Lanarkshire Council, North Lanarkshire Council, Business Gateway Lanarkshire, New College Lanarkshire and The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).
