'My first introduction to the Glasgow SWIB, following a search on the internet and a phone call was to a training event, where I was invited to ‘Just turn up’. What a great welcome I received by the committee, so much so that I joined up straight away. Since then at every event I have been to I have been met with a warm welcome and feeling of inclusivity. It has been a revelation to meet with professional women from so many different fields, it has been enlightening and informative.

During my membership of nearly three years, I have met any number of diverse career and entrepreneurial women who have been supportive and helpful made some truly valuable connections. I have met two coaches, Julie Cullen and Sylvia Baldock, both of whom have helped me to develop my role and skill set as Chief of Clan Hunter, and to be brave enough to go for my vision for the future of Hunterston Castle and Clan Hunter. I was introduced to Heather Alexander who sorted out the brief I needed to get quotes for my new website, this led to appointing Shona McIver of Llocofoco Design for the design of our new branding then appointing Gill Wilson of Buttered Host who is now putting Shona’s ideas into the build of our new website.

Although I had sought several people to undertake the work the members of SWIB came out way ahead with their ideas and commitment. All of them are a pleasure to work with and we will continue to work with them going forward as we apply for Charitable status for preserving Hunterston Castle for my worldwide membership.

If you are thinking of starting out in business or managing your career, looking for training and help with all aspects of your life and career join SWIB.'

The website goes live on the 11th September and we can't wait to share this on the day!
