Our values

Grounded

We believe that Women-owned businesses, backed by outside investment, achieve a better than average return than male-owned companies.

Accessible

We’re based in the North, so whilst we think globally, we have a regional lens too.

Effective

More than a talking shop – our track record demonstrates that we provide the focus, frameworks and action to deliver results.

Supportive icon

Supportive

We believe that the power of community is greater than any one individual, or organisation.
