Oxfordshire Women In Business Networking Event

Welcome to Oxfordshire Women In Business, a community of professional women from businesses across Oxfordshire and beyond.

We meet several times throughout the year to network, expand our business skills, and build relationships that provide support and collaboration opportunities.

Join us on Friday 21st November 2025 at the Courtyard Marriott Oxford South between 9.30 and 12.00, for a morning of networking, including an educational speaker, refreshments, pastries, and the chance to meet like-minded women from across Oxfordshire and beyond.

This month’s speaker is Shannon Holdstock, talking about the importance of Business Continuity & What Does It Mean For You?

Disruptions are inevitable in business, but resilience is a choice. Shannon will share how to prepare for the unexpected, whatever stage or size of business you’re in.

We’ll explore some of the most common risks small businesses face, from IT issues to sudden staff changes, and walk through simple, practical steps to help you plan ahead. Shannon will also highlight the PSC (Person with Significant Control) Challenge and why it’s worth paying attention to.

Whether you’ve never considered business continuity or you’ve had a few curveballs thrown your way, this session is designed to get you thinking proactively about how to protect what you’re building.
