Hot on the heels of the UEFA Women’s Euros, Lanarkshire Women In Business is taking inspiration from the beautiful game for its next event.
Based at Excelsior Stadium, the home of Airdrieonians Football Club, attendees will be able to get help Developing A Winning Mindset In Business to achieve start up and growth goals.
The free event takes place on Wednesday, August 31, from 11.30am to 2.00pm and includes lunch.
Speakers on the day include Nicole Rudder, owner of Wishaw-based G4 Claims.
Nicole is also the proud new owner Garrion Tower in the Clyde Valley and has ambitious plans to invest £5 million in the Tower’s refurbishment to create a new luxury wedding venue.
Ann Marie Ballantyne, accountant and Club Secretary of Airdrieonians Football Club, will also be speaking at the event.
Ann Marie runs JR Management Consultancy and has a client portfolio that stretches from London to Aberfeldy.
Councillor Tracy Carragher, Depute Leader of North Lanarkshire Council, said: “There has been a recurring mantra over the course of the recent UEFA women’s tournament that resonates also with women in business - you need to see it to be it.
“The power of inspiring female role models and authentic business stories should not be under-estimated.
“We know there is work to do to encourage and enable more women to start and grow businesses here in Lanarkshire.
“The ambition exists to do it, as does the vehicle, through partnership working and development of a progressive enterprise ecosystem.”
Councillor Maureen Devlin, representing South Lanarkshire Council, 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 to aspiring and existing business women as well as those working in business seeking personal and professional development.
The initiative is a partnership comprising North Lanarkshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council, Business Gateway Lanarkshire, New College Lanarkshire and The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).
