You only have to watch the recent episodes of the BBC television programme the Apprentice to see that women are fast becoming leaders in the business world - but despite these developments, many women still face huge challenges with press recently commenting on massive increases in unemployed Women and the difficulties they face in finding work especially those with children. Many Women who have set up their own business have found business networking such as the Headz Up 4 Women Business Networking an ideal way to strike a balance of family & work! And with more and more Women unable to find suitable employment the Women's networking events are fast becoming  fantastic opportunities in the route of self-employment.

The Headz Up 4 Women strand of the core company, offers unique networking events for business women & professionals in the region.  As a mum of 3 young children Pushpa Alexander understands the pressures and demands of a busy family life and understands the importance of enabling many women to network which is flexible and provides valuable opportunities to their business. In addition to networking events, Headz Up Business delivers consultancy, training services based on success driven techniques. 

One case study benefitting from Headz Up 4 Women Networking events is Bake 180. Bake 180 was set up by Sarah Wall two years ago, and despite hearing about the values of networking events, Sarah had never been to one.  However, since attending a Headz Up 4 Women  networking  Sarah has seen the results derived from face to face interaction: "It was my first meeting so I was petrified! But I am so glad I went. The network event was relaxed, everyone was so friendly and I made some good contacts and best of all - I obtained new business!" 

Another business to benefit was West Midlands Tomorrow Ltd.  As part of the European funded Women Innovating Network project, they chose Headz Up Business to host this year's business delegate visit from Europe which involved Italian and Latvian business delegates and municipal leaders meeting members of the Walsall business community. Welcomed by the Mayor of Walsall, the delegates experienced a Headz Up Business networking opportunity in the relaxed environment of the award winning Wharf Bar. Speaking about the involvement with Headz Up Business in April this year, Christine Lester, founder and CEO of West Midlands Tomorrow said she "was inspired by Pushpa from the moment we met; she has a dynamism which is catching - she knows her subject and places all her acumen at your disposal; her business is truly innovational, she brings added dimension to the art of promotion, goes the extra mile in developing a relationship which benefits both your business and thereby her own."

Networking is clearly a great way to secure new business and make contacts that can support you in the current financial climate. The forthcoming dates for Headz Up 4 Business Women Networking Events are held at West Midlands House, located in Willenhall. The venue boasts a stunning Zen Like central Atrium, with amazing office space, fantastic meeting, conference facilities and benefits from easy access and ample FREE car parking opposite the building. The great thing about Headz Up Business's networking events is that there is no joining or membership fee. A pay as you go fee of £10 is a minimal cost that any business can afford.
