It’s that time again!  On March 9th, we are holding our 4th(!) annual conference at the British Library.

The Women Unlimited conference is all about you. It’s inspiring, motivating, exciting, and invigorating.  We use this day to celebrate your bravery, celebrate your successes, and celebrate each other.

This year our theme is all about how to make your business THRIVE! in 2012.

What to expect

We have an absolutely fantastic line-up, and feel truly blessed to have so many remarkable women who are willing to come along and share their stories, advice and expertise to help your business become the business that you have been dreaming of.

“An AMAZING event. I am now going ot find 10 women and encourage them to attend the next event. Outstanding quality of information, it made you feel great about being a woman in business” Christine Alexander-Smith

To be successful in business you need to have a lot of passion, self belief and a powerful vision. But you also need really practical marketing tools and techniques that will help you get the message out, get more clients and powerfully sell your business.

We get that. So we are focusing this year on practical and inspirational marketing skills that will help you get more customers, more clients and more revenue.

All our speakers have achieved fantastic success in their own businesses will share with you what works and what doesn’t. They are bringing their specialist knowledge and expertise to you in a beautifully wrapped package.

What do we promise?

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll learn and you’ll be inspired. At the end of it you’ll be so glad that you came, you’ll wish you could do it all over again.

This year we want to help you make 2012 your best year yet.

Wendy Hallett

12 years ago, Wendy Hallett started her business from an office in her home with a small bank loan of £1000. Today Hallett Retail is responsible for an astounding £170 million of High Street fashion sales. Wow! Hallett Retail is the operational umbrella for the unique and innovative concept of Fuse – a department-store concession that brings together ten or more brands in a cohesive, boutique-like setting in host stores. The beauty of her business is that it helps small retail brands to get into large stores such as House of Fraser and Debenhams without having to bear all the costs and gives them a much bigger platfrom to sell their products from.

2011 was an incredible year for Wendy, culminating in being awarded the Everywoman Business Woman of the Year. Wendy will inspire you in ways that you can’t imagine. We can’t wait to hear her story.
