Testimonials – ‘A Life Changing Event’
Sam Godfrey-Moore from What’s On 4 Kids who attended the 2024 event said: “What a day! I cannot thank the BFA enough for this life-changing event. Yes, I’m going that far with this. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more comfortable or understood at an event of this scale before. The day was packed with highly relevant content to me and my business and connected with me on a very personal level.”
Helen Simmons from Caterpillar Music concurred: “I could have spent 3 days at EWIB 2024. The day flew by so quickly – the talks were amazing, the energy in the room was phenomenal and I have taken away so much again – this is the third time I have been, and it just gets better and better. It really is one of the highlights of the year.”
Networking opportunities

With an incredible speaker lineup and a powerful agenda, we’re set to deliver one of our best events yet. Every year, this day leaves women feeling inspired, uplifted, and deeply connected. EWIB is like no other event in franchising—a space where women can let their guard down, share openly, and walk away with fresh ideas and renewed energy.”
