Complete Details

The Business Womans Network (BWN) Insiders is hosting a premier face-to-face networking and business growth session designed specifically for women who are ready to scale their operations and build high-value professional relationships. Held at the stunning and historic Barn Brasserie in Great Tey, just outside Colchester, this event breaks the mold of traditional "card-swapping" mixers. Instead, it offers a high-energy, structured environment where the focus is on genuine connection, mutual support, and actionable business strategy.

In the current economic climate of 2026, the way we do business has evolved. Authenticity and community are the new currencies of success. This event is curated by Mandie Holgate, a renowned business coach who has helped thousands of entrepreneurs achieve exceptional results. The morning begins with a period of free-flow networking, allowing attendees to settle in, order a coffee, and start informal conversations in a relaxed setting. However, the true value lies in the structured portion of the meeting. Unlike many groups where you might get thirty seconds to "pitch" at the room, the BWN Insiders approach ensures you are seen, heard, and valued. The facilitation is designed to prompt the right questions so that fellow attendees can genuinely understand how to promote and support your business.

The philosophy of the BWN is simple: we actively want to do business with the people in the room. There are no rigid rules or forced referrals; the referrals happen naturally because the trust is built through meaningful dialogue. Whether you are an established business owner looking for fresh leads, a professional seeking to expand your circle of influence, or a decision-maker looking for collaborative solutions, this event provides the perfect platform. Beyond the networking, attendees often walk away with "mastermind" level insights—solving real-time business hurdles through the collective intelligence of the group.

The venue itself, The Barn Brasserie, provides an inspiring backdrop with its exposed beams and sophisticated atmosphere, ensuring that your morning of "work" feels like an investment in yourself as much as your company. Membership options are available for those looking for 24/7 support, but visitors are always welcome to experience this unique style of growth-focused networking.
