What our members say
“Ladies First do an amazing job bringing women together, raising aspirations, breaking barriers and strengthening communities both on an economic and social basis through their work helping more and more women to realise and fulfil their potential”
“I was invited as a guest speaker, to a Ladies First Afternoon Tea, where I was warmly welcomed. After a sumptuous feast of amazing sandwiches, cakes and champagne , I did my nutritional talk on gut health , and did a health questionnaire for them to complete ! I was made very welcome by the group , and have since attended an online event during lockdown, where the women are very supportive of one another’s business and enjoy the friendliness . I would definitely recommend this group , not only for the wonderful places they visit , and the variety of speakers they have , but for the support of each other in their business ventures.”
“Since Tracey took over the ownership of Ladies First she has done an amazing job and taken the group to a new level. She has introduced business awards to acknowledge women’s achievements across the region and the contribution they make to the local economy. She brings together a range of influential speakers who have a wealth of knowledge across a range of both business and life management topics. A really great group to be a part of – one where you will make good business contacts and some good friends!”
