Supporting Franklin women in business

A new initiative aims to support women in business across the wider Franklin area.

Franklin Law spearheaded the initiative, launching the Ladies Business Lunch in early August.

A hundred and fifty women from more than 25 different Franklin businesses attended the
inaugural event at Appetite in Pukekohe on August 7.

Franklin Law marketing manager Louise Willis said the event sold out in just five days.
Speaking at the event, Franklin Law associate Petrea Parkhill said the lunch focused on
supporting and connecting businesswomen across the district.

The Ladies Business Lunch main sponsors are Franklin Law, Franklin Times, PeopleInk, Loom Shared Space, and Harleh Laser Clinic. 

Prizes were donated by Hilton, Castaways, Flooring Xtra, Hyper Nails, Sandle, Brows by B,
Your Local Coffee Rosters, Sisu Pilates, and Caci Clinic Pukekohe.

The next Ladies Business Lunch will be held on September 10 at DoubleTree by Hilton
Auckland Karaka.

The Click: Women in Business is a Facebook group set up for Franklin women business owners to connect, share, learn and grow as a community together. We hold monthly business forum networking events with 100 local business owners attending, professional speakers, courtesy drinks, delicious nibbles, goodie bags, and prizes!
