SEBN (South East Business Networks) has been supporting women in business since 1999 and as their role and influence in business increases, so does the demand for relevant support.
Whilst the opportunities for women in business are more diverse than ever – so are the challenges, no matter what role they are in.
Offering a suite of activities that change according to demand, SEBN provides an environment that encourages the sharing of knowledge and expertise, supports the professional development of women and in turn increases personal confidence.
Few organisations allow you to leverage the positive impact of collaborative networking as effectively as SEBN does. We have been enabling the sharing of ideas for the region's manufacturing sector for over 20 years.
Our business groups and roundtables are offered free of charge.
We offer:
- an innovative approach to networking and leveraged learning models specifically for the region’s manufacturing sector
- regular meetings throughout the year - open to small, medium and large businesses
- a chance to hear keynote speakers and participate in practical demonstrations, workshops and site visits
- an open and ‘user-friendly’ environment that fosters interaction and connectivity between participants and encourages exchange of knowledge and resources
- opportunity to involve different personnel in appropriate groups
- conduit to service providers / government agencies / specialist expertise.
