West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce celebrates International Women’s Day

The WCNW Chamber of Commerce has been championing gender equality for many years and founded a Women’s Network event in 2013. The event brings together over 80 business women and entrepreneurs once a quarter to share experiences and celebrate successes. We hear from incredible women who share their stories and it is an inspirational community to be a part of.

The Chamber is also proud to have a leadership team with women at the forefront with its CEO, Sarah Bailey, and Commercial Director, Carol Dolan, driving the Chamber forward into a period of growth.

The Chamber’s Board of Directors also has strong female representation with five out of eight members being women, including the Chair and Deputy-Chair. With strong female representation throughout the organisation, the Chamber is at the forefront of advancing gender equality within the local business community.

Sarah Bailey, CEO of WCNW Chamber of Commerce, said:

“Gender equality is not just a moral imperative; it’s essential for the success and growth of any organization. At the WCNW Chamber of Commerce, we have been championing this cause for many years, understanding that diverse perspectives and inclusive leadership are key drivers of innovation and progress. Since founding our Women’s Network event in 2013, we’ve seen the power of bringing together businesswomen and entrepreneurs to share their experiences and celebrate their successes.”

Helen Nellist, Chair of WCNW Chamber of Commerce, added:

“Our commitment to gender equality is evident throughout our leadership structure, with women at the forefront, including our Board of Directors where women make up the majority. This representation is crucial in ensuring that our decisions and strategies reflect the needs and aspirations of our entire community.”

You can join us on March 27th, as we celebrate Women in Business and hear from Helen Tonks MBE, at the next meeting of our West Cheshire Women’s Network.
