Isle of Man Women in Business is now Forward Ladies Isle of Man, a group of more than 11,000 individuals across the north of England.  (Please reset your browser to the new site for future updates.)

Founded by Etta Cohen in 2000, Forward Ladies began as a small group of professional women meeting and sharing experiences.  Since then, the group has  grown with its members driving the initiative forward to become  the North’s fastest growing, women’s networking and business support organisations.

Forward Ladies’ mission is:  “Promoting and celebrating the engagement and participation of women in economic success by enabling women to be more confident in life and business through knowledge, contacts, support and friendship.”

Forward Ladies membership embraces women from all sectors and stages of professional life.  The group offers a community for women to learn, share and encourage one another in a supportive environment.

Forward Ladies  organises hundreds of events every year from trade missions to workshops and training sessions as well as motivational speakers, business breaks and more.   The aim is to provide members with the opportunity to network with like-minded business women, work on the development of their businesses and themselves or just relax and unwind at a social event.
