About EWiB

Elmbridge Women in Business was founded by Sylvia Adams in 1996. During its 13 year history, EWIB has grown from its first meeting of 12 women to a membership of over 100.

Sylvia Adams says:

“The idea was to help women improve their own personal development and enhance their understanding of business issues.”

In the last 12 months, talks have included:

  • Alison Clarke on “Telling Tales – creative approaches to networking”;
  • “Speed Networking” led by Amanda Fisackerly;
  • “Public Relations” by Jackie Mitchell, JM Communications
  • “Support Available to Women in Business” by Roz Maher and Barbara Parker, Business Link
  • The “Expert Panel” – free business advice from Karen Megranahan, millionaire and successful entrepreneur, Karen Skidmore on Internet marketing and know how; Liz Labrum, hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, on handling stress and maintaining motivation and Fiona Humberstone on branding and design.
