Our mission is simple but powerful...

To equip women with the skills they need to start and grow, their own business or develop their careers, rising into senior manager and leadership positions. By positively impacting all its members, Women in Business aspires to create a New Economy; whereby all women in Northern Ireland significantly contribute to the economic success of our society.

In keeping with our values, Women in Business facilitates positive contributions to the economy and society of Northern Ireland by developing every member’s professional skills, connections and confidence to achieve their ambition. Promoting the fact that women are an integral and invaluable part of every business, as we celebrate women’s professional achievements.

By joining the network, members make a profound investment in themselves and their careers. We deliver exceptional programmes and events, delivered by industry experts, including networking events, awards and conferences with inspirational global speakers. We provide skills to help all women progress in their career while making lasting connections.

Women in Business is a non-profit organisation run by a voluntary Board of Directors.

The WiB Group

Women in Business is an integral part of The WiB Group. The WiB Group is an umbrella group of social enterprises that are dedicated in the mission to help create an inclusive prosperous economy for Northern Ireland.

Through Women in Business, Diversity Mark, Timely Careers and Centre of Learning, The WiB Group is committed to driving positive change through connections, accreditations, employment opportunities and skills development. Join us in our mission, where the collective power of everyone’s contributions propels us towards a brighter, more equitable future for all.

Making an Impact is the first report of its kind that will focus squarely on what our work has achieved for our women, for inclusion, for our economy and, ultimately, our society. Producing this report on an annual basis, we will paint a clear picture of The WiB Group’s contribution in our collective quest to building an economy defined by inclusion and prosperity.

Plus, in documenting our impact, we are holding ourselves accountable to the goals we’re working to achieve and hope to open the door for new partners wanting to get involved. Collaboration is central to the Group’s strategy. Across our four social enterprises, we are pushing forward on the frontiers of flexible working and EDI, helping to set a gold standard for companies wanting to transform their workplace for the better.

Our team is hard at work on maximising impact, as you’ll see in the pages throughout the report. With this being the first Impact Report, we very much welcome your thoughts and feedback.
