The Women in Business Network launches in Preston & Blackburn

The Preston & Blackburn Women in Business Network (WIBN) has launched aimed at women who want to grow their business networks through a welcoming and supportive group.

Anne-Marie Swift, associate at WIBN, said:. “I am really excited about starting a new group in Preston & Blackburn,” said Anne-Marie. “There is a real demand for professional networking opportunities and WIBN enables like-minded business women to share ideas and successes. Members find our groups extremely valuable. As well as gaining business leads and contacts, many of our members go on to become firm friends.”

“We welcome visitors to try out our meetings before they commit to becoming a member, so you can find out whether WIBN is right for you and your business. Spaces are limited to one representative from each profession, so it’s important to book your place early if you want to secure a seat.” The new group follows a period of significant growth for WIBN, a supportive networking organisation which helps members gain new business opportunities through word of mouth. Originally set up in Hertfordshire in 2005, WIBN has grown from a small group of entrepreneurs to a network of nearly 3000 members across the UK. With ambitious growth plans for 2016, the network is going from strength to strength. The Preston & Blackburn group will be held on the second Thursday of each month at The Macdonald Tickled Trout Hotel from 12 noon until 2pm. For more information, or to book a place, please contact Anne-Marie Swift [email protected] 07469 714291 @wibnannemarie. For more information about WIBN visit www.wibn.co.uk
