Inspiring and enabling women to succeed in business locally

Organiser

21in21 is an exciting new initiative delivered by the Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce to support women in business throughout the region.

Further developing on our existing, and successful, Chamber Women In Business Network, we are launching 21in21; a 12 month Mentoring Programme for women in business. We will bring together 21 senior female business leaders, including Entrepreneurs, Chief Executives, Business Owners and experts in their field from a range of sectors to offer mentoring and support to 21 women in business. Mentees may be aspiring women leaders, an entrepreneur or a young person interested in climbing the career ladder.

Would you like to be mentored by a senior business leader for 12-months?

A Mentor can provide an impartial sounding board, help and advice in your chosen career, encouragement and support, help with communication and confidence in the workplace as well as the opportunity to learn from Senior Business Leaders who have excelled in their field.

If you would like the opportunity to be mentored, applications open on Monday 1st February 2021 until the end of Feburary. Click this link to complete our online application form

When does the programme launch?

The programme will launch on International Women's Day on Monday 8th March 2021. The programme will run through for 12-months, ending in March 2022.

The end of the 2021 programme will coincide with Coventry 2021's 'Amazing Women' month as part of the year as UK City of Culture.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information. It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers. We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events. When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
