BUSINESSWOMEN from across the region travelled to Cranage Hall on November 21 for this year’s North West Women’s Enterprise Day.
Holmes Chapel MP Fiona Bruce was joined at the event by established and aspiring businesswomen from a wide range of backgrounds, from retail and production to professional and service.
Guests at the event had the opportunity to network with other professionals in their sector and learn how to achieve maximum success in their business.
Mrs Bruce, a former Small Business Bureau Businesswoman of the Year, said: “This year there was a great emphasis on encouraging the women attending to share their own know-how between themselves.
“Often we can learn as much from each other, for example how to juggle home and work commitments, bench mark ourselves against industry standards, manage personnel and close deals as we can from formal conference presentations.
“It was encouraging to hear just how much expertise there was in the room. This bodes well for business and enterprise in the North West as increasing numbers of women are setting up their own businesses – and enjoying it.”
