Cumbria Chamber of Commerce will hold its first Women in Business offline event, ‘Walk and Talk Success Stories’, following the popularity of previous online discussions.
Balancing the easing of Covid restrictions with safe-working measures, this is our first in-person event in almost 18-months. The event is part of the Women in Business series and will be held on Friday, 30th July, 2-4pm, sponsored by Baines Wilson LLP.
Participants will walk the grounds of the stunning Melmerby Hall in Penrith and hear from 4 businesswomen from across the county. The speakers will talk about the challenges they’ve faced over the Covid-19 period so far, how they overcame them and the ultimate successes they’ve had.
The panel includes: Rachael Bagshaw of Just-R, Elaine Southward of HiDef surveying, and Joanne and Yasmine Hunter of Grasmere Gingerbread.
Eve Halliday, Business Growth Manager at Cumbria Chamber of Commerce said: “I’m delighted that we are able to get out and talk success stories in a beautiful part of the county. With the support of Baines Wilson LLP and the amazing women we have coming to share their stories – it’s sure to be a great day.
“A lovely, relaxed environment is just what’s needed for us to get back into the swing of networking, especially as many of us have spent a lot of time working from home and not having the chance to see or share ideas with other likeminded individuals.”
Joanne Holborn, Partner and Head of Employment Law and Training at Baines Wilson LLP said: “Baines Wilson LLP are excited to be working with the Chamber to bring you the Women in Business events throughout this year and into 2022.
“We are especially looking forward to this next event as it is the first one in person we have been able to organise. It will be a lovely afternoon walking around the grounds of Melmerby Hall and hearing from three fantastic local businesses. It will be the a great opportunity to mix with the many great business women of Cumbria and celebrate success stories – we can’t wait to see everyone!”
