It was a cosy First Friday in September, which was understandable as still plenty of us on holidays and just settling back into normal life post COVID. However the conversations were as valuable as ever, plenty of connections made and lots of business ideas shared. First Fridays are open to members and non-members too so if you'd like to network with like-minded women then please just book on our events page.
