There is a strong contingent of leading business women in many sectors across the UK, and this event will highlight, promote, support women at the top of their game.

Guests will be joined by Seema Kennedy, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Home Office and MP for South Ribble. In 2017 Seema became the first ever  Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to a Conservative Prime Minister, Theresa May.
