Introducing our 'Female Founders Friday' series, where every first Friday of the month we have inspiring speakers, delicious coffee and the opportunity to co-work together afterwards.

In line with this year's International Women's Day theme 'Give to Gain' we are focusing on what support and resources are available in the area to help strenghten your business. Give yourself the gift of time and gain the skills, connections and insights needed to make your business thrive.
