Secrets of Successful Women Entrepreneurs Networking Event, Bath

Event: Secrets of Successful Women Entrepreneurs
Date: Wednesday 21st May, from 12.30 – 2.30pm
Location: Carpenter House, Broad Quay, Bath, BA1 1UB.

Cost: No Charge

There's something magical about reading or hearing about someone else's business experiences that makes us connect with their situation in a unique manner. Sue Stockdale, author of Secrets of Successful Women Entrepreneurs, interviews three inspirational business women to learn how their personal and business competences have contributed to their success. 

Their stories will take us beyond the glitz and glamour and help us understand how they overcame obstacles and achieved things that they did not think were possible.  There will be opportunities for questions and to learn from these inspirational women.

This event will appeal to women who are already in business or thinking about starting-up.

Rosie Inge, Churton Inge Associates

Rosie is a partner in Churton Inge Associates, an advertising and PR agency based near Wells. Three years as editor of a glossy South African wine-and-food magazine gave Rosie Inge invaluable experience of the media from the inside. She was awarded a Chartered Institute of PR fellowship for leading the South-West to Region of the Year and has built an exciting and varied portfolio of experience which has included Textile Industries of Australia, Wyndham Estate Wines, Bloor Homes, the Tresco and Trelowarren Estates and Wells Cathedral School.  She is very fortunate that, after 20 years of PR, her clients are now almost all in the travel, leisure and tourism businesses, which entails inviting journalists to eat the best food and stay in wonderful places in the West Country. 

Vickie Knighton, Medics on the Move

Vickie Knighton and her business partner Carole Stubbs founded Medics on the Move in 2003. This was in response to a particular cry for help from busy professionals who did have time to find a home to rent or buy. With many years experience working in both property and customer service environments, Medics on the Move have brought together the best aspects of their experience into a dedicated property search and letting and management service. The business is rapidly growing and now has a network of 24 franchise territories.
