The Women's Enterprise Network is designed to support women starting, running or growing a business in rural Perthshire and Kinross or even for those who are thinking about it.

The March Women's Enterprise Networking Event will take place on Zoom, as an online meeting. It's a free event and provides an opportunity to "virtually" meet other like-minded women, hear from our speaker, Abigail Shepherd and meet some of the GrowBiz team.

Abigail Shepherd is a published author of short stories and children’s fiction and has lately used her writing skills to develop into a business content writer, proofreader and social media expert. In April 2018 she and her husband, Nathan, released the first ever issue of The Perthshire Magazine and knew immediately that they'd hit upon a gap in the local media scene. Their beautiful digital publication quickly became a must-read for all residents and visitors to the area and they now receive over 30,000 hits per issue. As editor, Abigail is responsible for arranging the content of each issue as well as writing many of the articles and proofreading all of them! Fortunately, she is never stuck for subject matter and each issue is filled with a variety of high quality, interesting and original articles.

This Women's Enterprise Networking Event will take place on Zoom, as an online session. Once you have booked you will receive a reminder 1 day before the event which will provide you with the joining instructions. You will receive another reminder 1 hour before the session. If you have never taken part in a Zoom session before please join the session at least 15 minutes before it starts to get comfortable with it. The facilitator will be there to help you.

You will require audio and video on your device to take part in the Zoom session. If you have any questions about using Zoom you can email Jennifer on jennifer@growbiz.co.uk..
