Women in Business Society is hosting the female founders of Manchester panel event on the 8th of March to celebrate International Women’s Day. The event will feature independent business owners in Manchester where they discuss their journeys and experience as established female business owners in Manchester.

‘We decided to organise this event because we wanted to showcase some of the strong female voices we have in the business industry in Manchester. All the speakers are incredibly driven and we want to provide an opportunity for them to share their stories to inspire the next generation of female business leaders’, said Grace, the president of Women in Business Society.

The event will feature panelists as follows:

Nichola Payne, the founder of Oklahoma, the biggest independent gift shop in Manchester. Nichola’s business is inspired by people ‘who work with their hands and lead bright colourful lives’. Her gift shop is the result of years of hard work culminating in an Aladdin’s cave full of unusual and surprising discoveries’.
