The EBC was founded in 1992 by Tessa Simpson to provide support and networking opportunities for businesswomen around Edinburgh. The club is run by a voluntary committee drawn from the membership of the club with a President who is elected every two years. If you have any questions about the EBC, our events or if you would like to be considered for a role on the committee, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

what our members say...
|
"The relaxed attitude at the First Fridays, the sharing and learning of the professionally organised training events and the general support and friendship of the other members allows me to share in a wealth of experience and knowledge to add insight to my role at GLM. Members recommend each other and it has expanded my professional network, in particular by attending the highly motivating annual ASB conference".

"The Edinburgh Businesswomen’s Club is not only an opportunity for business networking but a relaxed and welcoming environment to meet like-minded ladies across many different industries and professions. It provides the platform to share experiences and ideas as well as make new friends. I look forward to the monthly gathering, First Friday, as well as the other events throughout the year. A rewarding and enjoyable group."

"I have attended EBC events for at least 18 months now and have always found them to be of great value. From the very beginning I found the members really made the club what it is; professional, friendly and welcoming. There is always support to be found from within the club, whether you're looking for something specifically related to your business or on a more personal level. I would recommend coming to a 'First Friday' and finding out for yourself - you won't regret it"
Gin Lalli- Committee |
"We are EBC members because it’s good to belong to an organization that supports women in business. EBC meetings provide a great opportunity to network and find how other women are running their businesses. All women are very supportive and inspiring, which is the main benefit for us. On top of that, Kate Bell (President of EBC) is very proactive and always keen to help. We highly recommend to join EBC for all women in business who are looking for support and friendly faces."
