Women Mean Biz

Add this to your calendar:      

If you’re looking for inspiration, genuine support, and a boost of confidence to accelerate your business, this is the right networking group in Cheltenham for you.

We’ve also been told it’s one of the most uplifting business networking for women in business in Cheltenham, with an effective and inclusively led format.

What to expect?

A very warm welcome! There’s a natural warmth and energy at Women Mean Biz, as well as some brilliant business opportunities, and our meetings become even more dynamic when we have guests come and join us.

At Women Mean Biz we’re here to support you wherever you are on your business journey. To encourage you, hold your hand when you need it and celebrate your success with you. You’ll soon find – as so many of our members have – that this creates just the right conditions for your business to thrive.

So come along and enjoy the opportunity to meet new contacts at the Cotswold Grange Hotel, Pittville Circus Road, Cheltenham 
GL52 2QH in Cheltenham. It's the perfect place for you to share ideas, take lots of notes from our expert speaker and see where a room full of positivity and collaboration can take you. We love the Cotswold Grange hotel in Cheltenham as it has lots of off road parking, and the lunch is absolutely delicious with lots of super healthy options. It also has a personal and intimate feel, with room to grab a coffee before or after the meeting for those important 121's.

There’s a wealth of expertise and knowledge within this group who are waiting to meet you.

"After a tough couple of years setting up a new business and working from home on my own, it was time to get back out there again and do some networking in Cheltenham. The group has been so supportive and welcoming, and the other groups when I have joined them online have been just the same.  It’s great to meet people again face to face, and also to have the opportunity to join other groups online as and when time permits.  Here’s to building new relationships!"

"I've been networking for about 6 years and it is very rare to find such a lovely group of people who not only pass on referrals but who also want to support and help in business. It's been a joy to get to know the ladies at Cheltenham and feel part of a team of women who are running their own businesses"
Kate Bishop - Career Confidence Specialist, Coach & Trainer

"I have recently re-joined the Women Mean Biz Cheltenham lady’s lunch.  It’s so great to be back in a such a friendly, supportive room.  Our group is growing rapidly with like-minded women who are keen to grow their businesses.  Networking is the life blood of my business and I do a lot of it.  This group is completely unique, relaxed, and professional with the perfect balance between business and pleasure.  I can’t recommend this group enough; I look forward to the meeting from the end of the last to the start of the next."
Christine Sims - Village Financial Solutions - Mortgage and Protection Adviser
Cheltenham Group Member since October 2022

I chose this networking group in part because they meet in person. And what a welcoming and supportive group they are. The knowledge and expertise around the table is tremendous and they all share, willingly. Add to that some excellent guest speakers. I never fail to learn something new. I never regret attending - they pick you up when you are down and celebrate with you in the wins. When I joined I was new to Cheltenham and it's been great to have this group in my corner.
Alison Bale - Allbeing Ltd

"I was a member of Women Mean Biz for about a year between 2016-2017 but had to leave due to illness. I re-joined the Cheltenham group in May 2023 and I was so happy to be back (and to see several familiar faces from my earlier membership!). Women Mean Biz is about supporting each other, learning together, and growing friendships along with growing our businesses. I’ve met some of my closest business friends through Women Mean Biz and I’m so glad to have them in my world for when those inevitable bumps in the road come along! I’d recommend WMB to anyone looking for a more collaborative approach to networking."
