AN EXCITING free event will celebrate the role of women in business.

To celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8, Cumbria Chamber of Commerce will host a live panel event with 5 local leading businesswomen.

The free event will bring together women from the county with different professional backgrounds to discuss the advice, both good and bad, that they have received throughout their careers.

Suzanne Caldwell, Managing Director of the Chamber is one of the panelists and she is excited to be taking part.

She said: “It’s great that we have International Women’s Day to remind us to pause and celebrate what women are doing in all walks of life – in this case women in business around Cumbria.

“I’m really looking forward to this event and to hearing the advice myself! It will be fascinating to hear what everyone has to say.”

Joanne Holborn, Partner and Head of Employment Law and Training said: “It is great to be involved in this event to celebrate Cumbrian women in business. I’m really looking forward sharing experiences with other business owners and finding out the best advice they have received.”

Joining Suzanne are Joanne Holborn, of Baines Wilson LLP; Daniella Hope of Lake District Hotels; Jayne Moorby, Marketing Manager at Oxley Group and Emma Porter of Story Contracting Ltd.
