NatWest has launched Electra to unlock women's potential in the West of England.
The Electra network has been created to support women in business and bring together entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial women from across the West of England to lean in, connect and tackle challenges.
Launched in light of the NatWest Rose Review in May 2022, the network has kicked off by exploring key themes such as enterprise, funding and finance, and business support. The latest Rose Review found that during 2022 8,255 companies were established by women in the South West, a figure that has grown 10.7% in the past year and more than doubled since 2018.
