Celebrating the Achievements of an Outstanding Year in Business!




It's official, party season has begun! And the Cheltenham Women's Business Club have already been to a fair few with plenty of reason to celebrate! Wednesday marked the very last Business Lunch of 2014 and a joyous celebration of Christmas and a fantastic year for the club. 


"Yummy business lunch today with Cheltenham Women's Business Club  Merry Christmas ladies!"
- Amy Box, Hold my Hand Manicures


We enjoyed a buzzing room full of fantastic business women eager to get to know each other and browse our Christmas Stalls to do a spot of much needed Christmas shopping! We then gathered around our festively decorated table to hear a short presentation about the years achievements together as a club.


"A beautiful lunch
with lovely business ladies!"
"Fabulous lunch with lovely ladies
& inspirational speaker" 
"Thank you for the warm welcome.
An enjoyable & interesting meeting."

This year we have had the privilege to welcome around 150 business women to our monthly Business Lunch meetings! We have also been honored to support over 20 members over this year and interact with over 300 members of our Facebook and LinkedIn groups!


Just last month, we held our very first Maximise Conference & Awards ceremony! The conference was a huge success and the awards ceremony was a wonderful celebration of achievements across the whole of the Women's Business Club franchise! The Cheltenham Women's Business Club celebrated massive achievements together at the awards and managed to walk away with several of the distinguished awards.

Wait, there's more...



This year we have been proud to support the Children's Society as our nominated charity for the year for the whole of the Women's Business Club and have taken every opportunity to raise funds through our various events. I was very excited to present Roseann, who is a member of the Cheltenham Women's Business Club with a giant cheque this week! Although we will be nominating a new charity to support in 2015, we will still continue to support the Children's Society in Cheltenham as one of our Cheltenham Women's Business Club members.
....

To top of the year (and the meeting!), I would just like to thank our very loyal members and congratulate them on their phenomenal growth over the course of the year.  Here's to our members who have completed our Business Growth Workshops - Well done! And I look forward to seeing your businesses grow and prosper in the year ahead!


Well done and thank you to our loyal members Amy Box, Val Lomas, Fiona Jones, Sabrina Collett & Hazel Robinson!

We were also able to present a very special gift to Hazel Robinson of Nuts About Style! The ultimate raffle prize.

Over the year we have been collecting funds from our raffle to put into a gift voucher format and give to one of the ladies who has been in business for 18 months or less. This is so we can support someone new in business through our services at Women's Business Club.

This year, Hazel was nominated by other members of the club and chosen because of her outstanding commitment to her business and to the club. Hazel has been in business for just over a year, and to her credit, has done a phenomenal job! Not only has she poured her dedication and time into her business, she has also given the same investment to the club by taking up regular speaking slots across all the clubs and managing the Health and Beauty Zone at our Maximise Conference. 

We would now like to support Hazel with this gift voucher of £85 so we can invest in her business and help her push it to the next level! I look forward to seeing where your journey takes you this time next year! 


So here's to a wonderful 2014 and an even better 2015!

If you would like to know more about Women's Business Club, I would love to invite you along to our very first Business Lunch of 2015 on the 7th January!
