Women often encounter specific challenges in achieving business success and at Forward Ladies we understand this.
Founded by Etta Cohen in 2000, Forward Ladies began as a small group of professional women meeting and sharing experiences.
Since then, we have grown with our members driving us forward and we’re now one of the North’s largest women’s networking and business support organisations supporting over 12,000 women throughout Yorkshire, the Humber, Isle of Man, Manchester and Merseyside.
Our Mission
"Promoting and celebrating the engagement and participation of women in economic success by enabling women to be more confident in life and business through knowledge, contacts, support and friendship."
What makes us different?
Forward Ladies membership embraces women from all sectors and stages of professional life offering a community for women to learn, share and encourage one another in a supportive environment.
