If you’re looking to join a networking group with fellow Somerset based business women then we’d love to welcome you to join us at the Centurion Hotel in Midsomer Norton.

This is a warm and friendly group and the perfect place for anyone looking for networking opportunities in Somerset!

One of our members recently told us that networking was “completely out of her comfort zone” until she attended the Somerset meeting but she was instantly made to feel welcomed and supported.  And this is exactly how we strive to make people feel at Women Mean Biz, so whether you are new to networking or a seasoned pro, we would love to see you!

What to expect?

At our monthly meetings you will hear from an expert during the keynote speech, have the opportunity to tell the members and guests 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 to gain advice or simply help someone else with your own insights and experiences in business.

The business women of Somerset will be delighted to see you and help you to have an amazing networking experience. 

Meeting Structure

* Welcome from the Group Leader
* One-minute introductions round
* 10-minute member presentation
* 10-minute business surgery
* 15-minute expert keynote speaker slot

Non members are welcome to come along to two meetings so they can get a real feel for how they can benefit from the our community, so feel free to invite anyone you know who you think will benefit from meeting this wonderful networking group of Somerset based business women.

Women Mean Biz is a women's only membership however we occasionly, invite male speakers to deliver the keynote talk if we feel the subject matter will be beneficial and relevant to women in business. If you would like to know who the speaker is in advance of the meeting please email admin@womenmeanbiz.co.uk with the date of the meeting you are interested in.

“I really look forward to our monthly lunches & enjoy seeing the same faces, as well as new ones, each month.   I work for myself, on my own at home so these ladies are the colleagues I no longer have.  Even though I haven’t been in the group for that long, it’s such a warm, welcoming & supportive space, I feel like I’ve been a part of it for years already."
