To celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) on 8th March, Cumbria Chamber of Commerce are hosting a live panel event with 5 local leading businesswomen.
The free event will bring together women from the county with different professional backgrounds to discuss advice, both good and bad, that they have received throughout their careers.
The 5 panellists include: Suzanne Caldwell, Managing Director of Cumbria Chamber of Commerce; Joanne Holborn, Partner and Head of Employment Law and Training at Baines Wilson LLP; Daniella Hope, Director at Lake District Hotels Ltd; Jayne Moorby, Marketing Manager at Oxley Group; Emma Porter, Construction Managing Director at Story Contracting Ltd.
Suzanne Caldwell, Managing Director of the Chamber said: “It’s great that we have International Women’s Day to remind us to pause and celebrate what women are doing in all walks of life – in this case women in business around Cumbria. I’m really looking forward to this event and to hearing the advice myself! It will be fascinating to hear what everyone has to say.”
Joanne Holborn, Partner and Head of Employment Law and Training said: “It is great to be involved in this event to celebrate Cumbrian women in business. I’m really looking forward sharing experiences with other business owners and finding out the best advice they have received.”
IWD has been celebrated for 110 years and is a day to recognise the economic, social, and political achievements of women across the globe. There are women in significant roles who are making a positive impact on the business community in Cumbria. From business starters to running large organisations, as well as those forging a career in areas previously dominated by men.
