Women in business network, Pink Link’s International Women’s Day event is back for 2022.

A large conference will be held at Preston North End FC as part of a global celebration of equality, diversity and inclusivity that will bring together guests from across the North. The business focussed day is crammed full of exhibitors, masterclasses and face to face networking, lunch and is open to all supporters of female entrepreneurship.

This year’s keynote speaker is one of the most respected and admired female entrepreneurs in the UK. Motivational speaker and inspirational woman, Jo Fairley, the founder of Green & Blacks, the world’s favourite organic chocolate and serial entrepreneur will be delivering an insightful talk about the challenges she faced and overcome to become a global success.

Founder of Pink Link, Coral Horn, said “We’re determined to make up for lost time and make this our best IWD event ever. We’re excited to catch up with people we haven’t seen since the pandemic struck and meet women who started and pivoted their business during this challenging time.”

The event is a day for growth for women and their business. Organisations from a wide variety of sectors will be exhibiting products and services looking to strengthen relationships with existing contacts and make new connections.

Three free masterclasses by Boost Lancashire, KP Financial Wellbeing and the Intellectual Property Office will share their expert knowledge and resources to help women break down the barriers and succeed in their personal and professional life.

Andrew Leeming, programme manager, Boost, said: “It’s important Boost uses its central position in the Lancashire business support community to champion female entrepreneurship. We are proud to be partnering with Pink Link to help share inspirational stories of strong female leaders, discuss the key issues to female entrepreneurs and break the bias against women leading Lancashire businesses as part of International Women’s Day.”

The event is supported by partners, United Utilities, The IPO, Boost Lancashire, the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund delivered by the British Business Bank and Be The Business.

Sue Barnard, Senior Manager at British Business Bank: "Small businesses form the backbone of the economy in Lancashire and the North as a whole, and access to finance can play a crucial role in boosting the number of female entrepreneurs of all backgrounds that start and grow their own businesses. Events like the IWD2022 Lancashire event, along with initiatives and mentoring programmes, all help to build a more economically equal business landscape, where women are valued for their drive, innovation, and successes."
