EVENT ORGANISERS:

Cheshire Women in Business is a collaborative project run by Kirsty James and Tricia Peters, who both offer business networking events and services. Between them, they have helped hundreds of people to connect and grow their businesses and they are responsible for thousands of pounds worth of business in the region, as well as significant fundraising for many charities, both regional and national.

The Cheshire IWD event was set up and run by KTS Women in Business, a collaboration between three of the most renowned networking event organisers in the North West, who have been referred to in the regional press and by attendees as the 'Queens of Networking', the 'Three Amigo's' and the 'Backbone of Networking' in Cheshire and Manchester. When Sue retired late 2024, Kirsty and Tricia agreed to continue running a select number of joint events.

Although each of the ladies has their own business and their individual style of bringing people together, their core message is the same. They know that, although social media is a fantastic tool for business development, nothing beats direct communication via events and building up a business relationship gradually. They strive to host events, workshops and seminars to facilitate introductions, inspiration and learning for their attendees.
