If you’re looking to join a networking group full of inspiring female entrepreneurs in the Stroud area, then we’d love to welcome you to join this networking group hosted at this beautiful venue, Burleigh Court Hotel.

This is new group, starting up in the Spring of 2024 and we are looking to attract a diverse range of local business women in Stroud, Cirencester, Nailsworth, and other surrounding towns and villages around the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire. Our Stroud group is the perfect place to meet other like-minded progressive and ambitious women in business, looking to build long term relationships and all round business support.

What to expect?

This networking group is both productive and relaxed, which makes it great for anyone looking to network in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Our members are passionate about their businesses and love nothing more than to collaborate with fellow business owners who are equally as excited about theirs. 

At our monthly meetings you will hear from an expert during the keynote speech, have the opportunity to share all about your business in the one minute round and take part in the business surgery where you can bring a business challenge to the table, or share your expertise and help someone else with their own challenge.

Jo and Rachel are the Leadership team for our Stroud networking group and they are looking forward to welcoming you, whether you are a seasoned pro when it comes to networking or it’s your very first time. Everyone is welcome, wherever you are on your business journey!

"Business made enjoyable is fun, we are a lovely group with no competition, judgment or pressure just encouragement and support for fellow friends supplying a service just like you."
