Testimonials

“For networking, ABW is great value for money. As it's run by members for members, the focus is always on delivering relevant, inspiring and enjoyable events and the relaxed, relatively informal atmosphere is, I find, particularly conducive to making new and valuable business connections.”

“My first event with ABW. Didn’t know what to expect. So enjoyed the buzz in the room as soon as I walked in. Before long I was being taken care of and introduced to many people making networking a delight. Left feeling encouraged and motivated. Thank you ABW.”

“Last night’s event was a great example of a mixture of professional and business women getting together to network and share ideas and best practice in an excellent social setting. The speaker was superb and the subject very relevant to us all. This is what the ABW is all about.”

“It was a terrific event, and I feel it is really great that the young people were exposed to such positive role models. I passionately believe that if anyone really wishes to succeed then they can, provided they have that spark of courage to take the first step; sometimes to ignite that spark requires just a bit of encouragement or inspiration from those who have made the journey. You very ably provided that last night.”

“In one afternoon I have found a new packaging supplier for jewellery boxes, a potential letting agent for our flat, someone to discuss mind issues when things get too much, a booking for one of our jewellery classes, a contact to take kids classes at MT, someone to help me design our new holiday home, ideas from the beautiful castle to inspire me for a Scottish theme holiday let to name a few!!!”

“At every meeting I have been to with ABW, since I joined a few months ago, I have been able to make contacts with whom I have subsequently met with later for work purposes. The group is also really friendly and you are made to feel welcome and part of a bigger team, in addition, the events have all been very informative and worth while attending.”

“ABW is a great place to meet all different types of business women within Ayrshire and also enjoy listening to great speakers on relevant topics.”

“Another fantastic ABW event and, once again, there was a huge buzz around the room. Speakers were excellent and extremely informative. Great to see so many faces I didn’t know as ABW widens the membership. Onwards and upwards. Well done!”

““The primary goal for the new 2021 ABW Committee is to increase the networking opportunities available to local Business Women, - whilst also raising the profile of the group and promoting the Member Businesses – both internally and externally throughout Ayrshire.” The new Committee will have some exciting plans for re-invigorating the Association in 2021, and will be focussed on delivering affordable, value-for-money benefits to Members, having already commenced a PR Campaign to attract new women to join the Association this year.”
