Get ready for an unforgettable International Women’s Day extravaganza!

We’re thrilled that our upcoming annual lunch will be held at the fabulous Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst and will be buzzing with excitement!

Brace yourself for enlightening and inspirational speakers, as we celebrate this year’s theme: Inspire Inclusion.

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together, we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #InspireInclusion.

Together, we will celebrate the achievements of local women in business, raise awareness about discrimination, break barriers and take action to drive gender parity in the New Forest!

We are delighted to welcome Nancy Hyne, the founder of True Horizon, a consultancy supporting brands to balance purpose and profit. Nancy started her career working as a Structural Design Engineer in London, before moving to live in Australia in 2007, which is where her sustainability journey began. After over 10 years’ working in corporate sustainability, Nancy founded True Horizon having identified a real need in the market – support for conscious brands that are ready to scale and striving to make a demonstrable and positive, impact. Nancy now runs her business from the beautiful New Forest, serving clients across the UK and further afield. Her mission is to support conscious brands do business in a better way to create a positive impact on people, planet and profit.

We also welcome this year’s winners of the New Forest Brilliance in Businesses Awards, including Gillian Keartland of Vida Promotions, who will talk about how her business is taking forward the sustainability challenge for promotional merchandise.

You can look forward to networking over a drink and canapés on arrival, followed by a delicious two course lunch and a charity raffle.

This business lunch leaves plenty of time for discussion and networking. Come along to find out what other women in business are doing in 2024 and celebrate their achievements together on International Women’s Day!

As with all NFBP events, this event is open to everyone and is a not-for-profit celebration and supports the New Forest Brilliance in Business Awards Charity of the Year, Olivia Inspires.
