A conference to help women succeed in business will be held this month.
Pink Link will hold its first summer regional event at the Lakeside Hotel and Spa in Windermere next Thursday, August 25.
Exhibitors will promote products and services and there are two free masterclasses. The Intellectual Property Office will be advising how to protect content, ideas and designs and will be on hand to offer guidance that could save businesses time and money.
The second workshop with Elizabeth McQuillan, of Flamingo Business, will help women to conquer the fear of sales and selling.
The conference’s guest speakers include Rachel Holliday, 2021 Enterprise Vision Awards Inspirational Woman of the Year, who set up Time to Change (West Cumbria) Project CIC.
Hot on the heels of her recent TV appearance on Channel 4’s A Lake District Farm Shop, award-winning entrepreneur, Maria Benjamin, of Dodgson Wood, will share her passion for finding creative and environmentally sustainable solutions to diversify natural resources that already exist on the family’s farm. Her innovative approach has helped businesses both locally and as far afield as Nepal.
Coral Horn, founder of Pink Link said “Extra support is needed to improve female entrepreneurs’ access to tools, resources and finance. These events are where women from all sectors can discuss their challenges and find solutions, expand their market and generate leads – it’s what businesses need and we welcome support from all our allies.”
