If you’re looking to join an online networking community with a lot of soul AND you want to grow your business through meaningful business relationships and collaboration, this is the online networking group for you!
We are proud to offer a combination of networking opportunities, and our online community is a very special & unique space. Members with WMB can attend any of our meetings online every month and reap the rewards of connecting with like-minded women in business with a similar purpose and mindset.
What are the unique benefits for networking online?
There are many reasons why some people choose to network online, and here are the main benefits that our members enjoy.
• It’s very convenient being able to network in the comfort of your own home or office.
• Short on time? Perfect for those of us who need to be time efficient.
• More affordable than in-person networking, so it suits people who have financial restrictions.
• You can connect with more people + expand your reach geographically.
• In Women Mean Biz, it’s a safe space & certainly less intimidating than face-to-face networking, making it more accessible for anyone who is introverted, or struggles with large groups of people.
• A fantastic way to dip your toe into networking, before taking the plunge with in-person meetings
Currently we have 3 online networking meetings each month, and these are hosted by 3 exceptional women in business who really know how to create the right energy online and a fully inclusive & supportive environment.
1st Tuesday of the month from 10am to 11.30am – hosted by Amy Oldfield
2nd Thursday of the month from 10am to 11.30am – hosted by Vik Martin
3rd Friday of the month from 11am to 12.30pm – hosted by Kerry Seymour
What to expect?
One of our members recently told us that what they love the most about our meetings is the wonderful energy our Leaders have, and how you feel truly valued, regardless of whether you are a long-term member or simply coming along as a visitor.
Our online networking meetings are engaging and productive, with expert talks, a one-minute round where everyone shares a little about what they do, a 10 minute 121 with another attendee in a break out rooms and more. If you’re looking to make new connections with the potential for collaboration then this is the place to be for businesses across the UK who embrace online opportunities, wherever they happen to be! .
Our WMB Online community would love to get to know you and your business.
We love to welcome non-members to our online networking meetings and warmly invite you to dip your toe in, and you can attend the first meeting for FREE before deciding on whether to join the Women Mean Biz ONLINE community. This opportunity will give you a real feel for how you can benefit from being a member.

What our members say about the meetings
“I have found online networking meetings a real lifeline for my business. Being a solo parent during the week and being self-employed means that time is extremely precious, so being able to participate in networking without being disadvantaged is invaluable. I have been able to meet other professionals who live and work a fair distance away, which in person would have been extremely difficult to do. The online networking experience has been extremely beneficial in terms of timings, accessibility, inclusion, and providing opportunities that I don't think I would have got with another network.”
