I set up Bee Social Networking for women because, after the lockdown, I was eager to join a networking group, but there just wasn't anything that really resonated with me. I knew I wanted something different from the usual formal, 60-second pitch style that most groups offered. So, in March 2021, I launched Bee Social Networking, putting a fresh twist on the traditional round robin format. The group quickly became a supportive and fun space where local businesswomen could connect on a deeper level and support one another. It's been amazing to see how many collaborations have blossomed among the members, creating a real sense of community and mutual growth.
