✨ Our first She Means Business Cumbria event of 2026 ✨
Yesterday we brought together over 45 incredible women in business for our first event of the year 🤩
The focus of this event was all around finance… a topic many of us avoid, feel unsure about, or have often been made to feel sits within male-dominated spaces.
Our intention was simple, to help women feel more confident, informed and empowered when it comes to their money.
A huge thank you to Alice Wilkinson & Ruth Power from FMB Planning (Financial Management Bureau) for creating such an open, supportive space for honest conversations around finances, future planning and money confidence.
Despite the Cumbrian weather doing its best ☔️, everyone enjoyed the most delicious brunch supplied by
@thehungryfarmercatering , whilst connecting with one another!
A special moment from the morning was our Business Spotlight ✨, awarded to Jess from
@wildmuselakes , celebrating the courage it takes to follow your passion and bring a vision to life, something we are so passionate about championing within Cumbria’s female business community.
Thank you to
