Scottish Women in Business

Join

Scottish Women in Business offers many benefits to businesses, large and small, no matter what their business is. The network is supportive, educational, inspiring, friendly and fun! Many members have found friends as well as finding customers, suppliers, business partners and associates through coming along to our events.

Here's what two of our recent members have to say about joining:

Hello there, I'm Carol from Thomson Bethune.

I'm a 'newbie' with SWIB. I joined SWIB because to me SWIB stands for Sexy & Succesful, Witty, Innovative, Businesswomen.

Today's business woman needs a 'voice' and a place to unwind, somewhere that can be a sounding board. SWIB provides all of this and more, everything from networking (whether business focussed, ie: gaining contacts & new business or just social), being with like-minded individuals who have the same worries, collecting new marketing strategies and ideas, listening to inspiring speakers or just going for sheer friendship, SWIB provides all of this done with savvy feminity.

I'm Alison Hutcheson, of Woods Noble Media.

After almost 20 years in various staff jobs with the BBC I have been self employed for the first time in my life. I decided that a very good use of my skills was to set up a business producing podcasts and vodcasts ie. audio and video for websites.

I joined SWIB as I needed to do some networking and I also thought that it would be a good idea to push me along in carrying out my plans! I have found all my SWIB events to be very positive experiences. I’ve met people who are interested in what I am doing and keen to help me. For somebody new to the entrepreneurial world, it has given me the confidence to move on with my plans. I always come home from the events buzzing with renewed enthusiasm.
