THE next meeting of the Stroud Businesswomen’s Network takes place next week.

More than 60 local businesswomen representing a wide range of enterprises of all sizes attend the informal monthly networking meetings.

This month’s meeting is on Thursday, September 25 at the Old Lodge on Minchinhampton Common. Doors open at 8.45am for a 9.30am start.

At the September meeting SBN will be welcoming Paula Brown, the commercial manager for Forest Green Rovers (FGR).

Paula will be giving a talk entitled "Another Way" – the eco credentials of FGR and what is being done to help make it sustainable.

SBN offers businesswomen across the county the chance to network, share information, exchange ideas and tap into local resources and support those running their own business.
