The International Women’s Day event for Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin was another sell-out success. For the 7th year running, local business woman Hollie Whittles partnered with the Shropshire Growth Hub and the Federation of Small Businesses to run the inspirational event. It was held at the stunning venue High Grosvenor House in Claverley, near Bridgnorth.
The keynote speaker was Karmen Novak from international beauty brand Flower and Spice who flew in from Amsterdam to come and speak at the event. Her brand, Flower and Spice partners with distributors in Switzerland and China, and she spoke about how she launched her business and lessons learned overcoming challenges to achieve global success.
Karmen said, “It is never too late to turn your vision into reality, launching a female-led business is not about age, it’s about courage, passion, and the determination to create something meaningful. The world needs your ideas, no matter when you start.”
Yasmin Sulaman also took to the stage to share her powerful story about how she turned life’s challenges into a masterclass of resilience and joy. Yasmin shared her mantra that: “Resilience and joy can go hand in hand, even when the odds are stacked against you.”
