A huge thank you to all the fabulous ladies who joined us at the gorgeous Brucciani's in Preston for our Elevate event last week.
The warmth, laughter and conversations in the room were just lovely. So wonderful to see everyone coming together and connecting.
A special thank you to Amanda Dowson for sharing the story behind Mrs Dowson's Ice Cream. We loved hearing about those early days, the family at the heart of the business and the exciting future ahead.
And to Julie and Jackie from Garstang’s Business Health Institute whose stories resonated with so many of us. A lovely reminder of just how much we all juggle, how easy it is to keep going and going, and how important it is to find a little time to pause and take stock.
Thank you to Nicola Robinson for sharing the very personal story behind Thumbs Up for Charlie, the charity she founded. It was really moving and we were delighted to be able to donate £200 on the night to support her wonderful work. And those personalised bears were a real hit!
And, of course, to the wonderful team at Brucciani's for looking after us so beautifully. The food was delicious!
Liz and Lisa are already looking forward to bringing everyone together again for our next Elevate event in February. Keep an eye out for more details!
