Inspiring Women in Business - Be More Dinner

Striding Out is hosting a dinner to celebrate Women's Enterprise Day. The event aims to celebrate inspiring and successful young women in business. We’ve invited a real mix of women; some with inspirational stories and others who are looking for inspiration. It's a chance to meet some amazing women, and to share your ideas, challenges and experiences in a chilled out environment. Plus, it's the perfect excuse to leave work on time!
