SUMMARY:Essex Business Partnerships – Supporting Women in Business Southend Networking Event 202503
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, the professional working environment was geared towards traditional roles. Men go to work and women stay at home. Luckily\, things have moved on and women have found their place in the professional environment. \nEssex Business Partnerships believe in the importance of creating a safe space for women to support other women; to enable women to build the confidence\, knowledge\, and experience to pass beyond glass ceilings while still feeling comfortable with creating the right work/home balance for us\, as individuals.\nIf you would like to meet with like-minded women\, please join us for our women’s networking meeting at The Kitchen Cafe (Next to the Lounge Club)\, whilst enjoying a refreshing drink with a delicious slice of their homemade cake. We look forward to meeting you. The group will meet monthly on the 4th Tuesday of the month\, with the view to exchanging information\, developing professional and social contacts and supporting each other in pursuit of opportunities\, collaborations and new business. \nEssex Business Partnerships is an organisation operating countywide in Essex. We bring all types of businesses together with the aim of working together as a community\, to enable businesses to grow and develop through communication\, connection\, and collaboration. Our vision is to be a dynamic\, innovative\, and transparent organisation providing valuable tools and information to enable businesses to thrive whatever stage of their development. We will be holding business networking events at different venues and areas in Essex virtual events alongside workshops\, and educational events to help businesses succeed and grow. We are a friendly community\, with sole traders through to large corporate businesses and everyone is welcome. \nFor more information contact info@essexbusinesspartnerships.org.uk or call Sally Sykes on 07940 459703.
