On Friday, 6th March, the energy at our International Women’s Day celebration was nothing short of electric. Hosted in partnership with Oxfordshire Women in Business and the Athena Network, we brought together over 80 incredible women from across the county to celebrate, connect, and share our stories.
The morning was a powerful reminder of the strength within Oxfordshire’s entrepreneurial community. We were privileged to hear the truly inspirational stories of Alice Chilver from WHEN and Lucy B from Sustainably Styled, whose insights into leadership and resilience left the room buzzing with new ideas.
What You Said About the Event
The feedback from the morning has been wonderful, and it’s clear that the spirit of collaboration is alive and well:
“Thank you so much for a great morning. It was so great to be surrounded by such super women. Just brilliant.”
“A wonderful morning celebrating women in leadership across Oxfordshire. I had the best morning amongst wonderful, inspiring women.”
“Thank you Enterprise Oxfordshire for organising such a wonderful event. I had the best morning amongst wonderful inspiring women of Oxfordshire
“So many awesome ladies with fabulous businesses. Can’t wait for the next one!”
