Financial Mail Women's Forum

The Financial Mail Women's Forum was set up in 2000 in order to help women in the UK climb the business ladder. This women's network provides information and useful opportunities for women to make new contacts, exchange ideas and forge new business alliances. The Forum draws support from women in a wide range of industries, from the city and public service, the professions, politics and e-commerce.


The Forum's Mentoring Programme helps female entrepeneurs with their businesses. 80 of the UK's most powerful women sit on the Advisory Board, acting as trouble shooters. Apply to become a mentee or mentor through the site. The case studies give you an idea of level of participation the Forum offers. One such is Penny Jones of the White T-Shirt Company, a business that The Good Web Guide rates highly.
