BWC Aberdeen Membership

Nicole - Globemrk Digtal Studio

Attending the Programme for Growth at the Barclays ONE Tech Hub, organized by BWC, was a transformative experience for my business. This full-day, complimentary program was packed with fantastic and inspiring speakers who shared invaluable insights and hands-on tips. The ambiance was vibrant and supportive, making it easy to absorb and ask questions.

The programme helped me look at my business from a distance, enabling me to prioritise what is truly important and evaluate the best steps to take for scaling. Apart from this example of incredible content, the BWC membership facilitates amazing networking opportunities. Since I am a member, I connected with so many interesting like- minded professionals, have built new friendships and valuable contacts that are crucial for business growth.

The value provided by BWC is indispensable for any ambitious business owner. The Programme for Growth not only equips you with practical strategies but also energises you with the motivation to implement them. Highly recommended!

House of Colour

Joining BWC is one of the best decisions I have made during my business career.

Being a Colour and Image Consultant, a Celebrator of Individuality, and a Curator of Confidence it is important to find the right audience.

Well, I have done that with this incredibly diverse group of female entrepreneurs.

Over the past 8 months, I have welcomed many of our members to my studio to share with them knowledge and understanding of the business benefits of colour and style.

I see my clients standing out in the room at our monthly meetings, making that vital first impression so important in our businesses.

I cannot recommend joining this group highly enough – it’s a ‘no-brainer’!

BWC came into the picture at the perfect time for both me and my business. Transitioning from 25-years as an employee to launching and managing my own business was a big challenge. It required a complete shift in mindset, and being a part of BWC has propelled me to where I needed to be. I've gained valuable knowledge and connected with genuinely inspiring women. Grateful to BWC for the journey!

Joining BWC Aberdeen was a no brainier for me. As a relatively new small business, the key reasons I joined were to benefit from the expertise in the room, collaborate with like minded people and most of all, get my business out there to my ideal customers - women! Why would I not join a group that each member and their friends could be potential customers?

As well as benefiting from tips and gaining knowledge from other members through their presentations, I’ve connected with some amazing women and working on collaborative projects to benefit both our businesses.

Sales have increased as I’ve gained new customers who are members and they have since referred their connections. My business profile has been raised thanks to being nominated and ultimately winning an Athena Award, with orders flooding in from attendees of the awards during the event.

For those looking to network and haven’t quite found their tribe, look no further than BWC as there is no group who will support women more passionately as other women.

Being part of BWC Aberdeen has been great for me. I am relatively new to networking and didn’t relish the prospect of going to networking events where it was a room full of people all trying to sell to each other. BWC is not like that at all. It is a warm welcoming environment where everyone is supporting each other in both their professional and personal development. Winning the Women in Finance award has been amazing for me. It was fantastic to be recognised for my passion for improving the financial wellbeing of my clients of all genders, but in particular for woman. In under a year I have made great connections that has resulted in me being able to assist new clients with their financial planning.

Marketing! Arghhhh! That was my reaction to it. I was clueless and confused, having been given so much, often conflicted advice, about how to market my business. Then, the mentoring match scheme came onto my radar. As a new BWC member, I wasn’t sure if I should apply, but I donned my brave bird pants (yes, they are a thing!) and hit the enter button.

Soon after, I was advised that I had been matched with Debbie McCombie of DXD Media and would receive 3 (free) hours of mentoring. These three hours unravelled the spaghetti ball of marketing for me. Debbie admitted that she thought she was coming into a mess, but it turned out that I was doing OK. With Debbie’s vast experience in Marketing, we put my ducks in a row and soon created a strategy for me to follow that didn’t send me into a tailspin!

I cannot thank BWC enough for this amazing programme, especially Debbie for her patience, understanding and generosity.

If you are struggling with any aspect of your business, put on your brave bird pants and ask. What’s the worst that could happen?
