Handbags And Briefcases

We are a voluntary grant-funded networking group set-up to promote support and growth for entrepreneurial women who have the desire and passion to succeed. Covering the Greater Manchester area, we create opportunities in which like-minded business women can get together and network in a pressure-free, relaxed environment. We offer practical, hands-on advice through our regular seminars and workshop events, helping our members to build their business skills, their confidence and their social diaries! We encourage information sharing and believe in promoting members' services to those in our own networks – it’s not always the contact you make but the doors they can open for you. We always warmly welcome new members and actively invite non-members to come and give us a try. Our procurement of National Lottery funding has meant that we are able to keep membership to a minimum and most events are run free of charge – a cost-effective way to network, gain secure lifelines and showcase products, services and capabilities. We offer a buddy scheme for women who are nervous to network for the first time.
