Ayrshire Business Women (ABW)

Ayrshire Business Women was founded in 1994 by 3 forward looking women who wanted to establish a business network to support women in business and professional roles, at a time when gender bias was still prohibitive to success. 30 years later, the organisation is still going strong and continues to be run by a committee of dedicated volunteers. 

Ayrshire Business Women is an affiliate member organisation of the Association of Scottish Business Women.

Our mission is to actively endorse the development of women in business and exchange ideas, opinions, experiences and opportunities between our members.

Our vision at ABW is to be the leading business organisation for our members, recognised for our commitment to fostering integrity, professionalism, and trust. We aspire to create a vibrant association where our members are empowered by knowledge, connections, and opportunities. We are dedicated to excellence, inclusivity, and advocacy. We aim to drive positive change, inspire leadership, and champion the success of our members in Ayrshire and beyond.
