About us

Forward Ladies is a business networking organisation for professional women. 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 UK's leading women’s networking and business support organisations supporting over 13,500 women throughout the UK.

What makes us different?

Forward Ladies membership is made up of professional 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.

We run over 400 events/programmes a year from business development workshops and inspirational speakers to networking lunches, award ceremonies and trade missions.
