Inspirational women in focus at women’s business networking event
Luxury motorhome dealer, Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld is hosting an International Women’s Day networking event on Monday 9th March at its showroom in Stafford.
At the event, business women from the worlds of recruitment, training and the local business community, will share their stories and celebrate the theme of the national event, Each for Equal. Guests will also be able to network and enjoy refreshments in the luxury showroom surroundings.
The company will open its doors to all guests interested in business networking and hearing some inspirational stories from women with very different journeys.
The line-up of speakers includes, Sara Williams, chief executive of Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, Maxine Booth, trainer at from Intec Business Colleges and Rachel Lowe, branch manager at Brook Street Recruitment in Telford.
Sara Williams, CEO of Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, said: “I’m delighted to be speaking at this event to mark International Women’s Day. Women still face many barriers in business, from perceptions of our roles to lack of workplace flexibility, so it’s essential that we come together at events like this to look at how we can break down barriers, raise the profile of women, and celebrate all we have to offer.”
Rachel Lowe added: “This event is a fantastic way to highlight the current issues facing women at work. A big challenge many still face today is going back to work following a career break, such as maternity leave. On their return, women can feel uncertain and isolated, and it is down to organisations to provide appropriate support during this stage and ensure a comfortable and an effective pathway back into the workplace.”
Carol Huggins, organiser of the event and HR manager of Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld added: “Throughout history, women have used their determination and strength to forge a positive future. International Women’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate this overall achievement and acknowledge the experiences women in business have also shown. There are so many inspirational women right here in our own business community. We want to bring them together in our showrooms to celebrate how far we have come and to keep on encouraging each other.”
The event opens at 4pm for informal networking in the showroom and speakers will begin at approximately 4.30 pm. The event is scheduled to finish at approximately 6 pm.
