North Cumbria WiRE

Network Leaders:

We are very excited that we will be starting a brand new WiRE Network in North Cumbria. Due to current commitments the new leaders will be starting this group in later in 2021, this will likely be a multi centre network group as we are aware that Cumbria is a large county.

Please stay connected via Facebook or Instagram to be kept up to date. Or contact Emma – emma@wireuk.org

 

All small business need to find support, to learn new skills, to feel like they are not alone and to find other small businesses to work with – it’s not rocket science, Networking Works! If you are looking for a group of businesswomen who share expertise and knowledge; who help you build new skills, who boost your confidence and support each other to build better businesses? Then North Cumbria WiRE will be the business support network for you.

Our aim is that group membership is diverse and varied. New and growing businesses, offering a multitude of products and services, operating from the remotest rural locations to the busiest market towns – everybody will be welcome. Our first meeting will be a session where we can all discuss what we as a group would like to be included/covered in our meetings going forward, planning in dates and activities.

WiRE Networking isn’t just about swapping business cards; it is about support, inspiration and building relationships. Network groups are run by WiRE member volunteers not franchisees and costs are deliberately kept low. The groups are friendly and welcoming, full of inspirational women sharing skills and helping each other to be successful in business.

WiRE is different; we are not a franchise organisation, we have no funding, we deliberately keep costs low and our Network Leaders are volunteers who lead, inspire and support.

Your WiRE Network needs your support.

  • Please support your local WiRE Network; go along to meetings & encourage others to attend
  • Please “Bring a Buddy” if you like WiRE, your friends and colleagues will
  • Please remember that Network Leaders are volunteers and juggle lots of other commitments
  • Please book in advance and let the Network Leader know if you can’t attend (with plenty of time)
  • Please offer to help, speak, promote and share your skills – it’s your network
