Empowering female founders
We’re proud that 95% of the small businesses on Holly & Co are female founded and that 70% are also mums and that 80% are aged between 40 and 65. It proves it’s possible to become a female entrepreneur and that it’s never too late to start. It shows what we’re capable of when we work together and the power of what we create. Yes, statistics show women get less funding then men and there’s still a gender pay gap — but we can succeed anyway and show the next generation and our peers what’s possible. And that’s incredibly exciting!
Celebrating Women
GIVING YOU THE CONFIDENCE IT TAKES TO FLY
At Holly & Co, we want women to become the fullest versions of themselves and the reason for that is simple. We spend far too much time worrying about others, that we often forget who we are inside. The real us. The joyful us. The ‘us’ that doesn’t just settle and can achieve the things we dream of — together. The ‘us’ that loves to be surrounded by creativity, ideas and possibilities. We’re here to help you get back to feeling like the true ‘you’ again: informed, empowered and ever so inspired.

HOW WE’RE SUPPORTING WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES
We support all small businesses but for over a decade now, we’ve been campaigning for female founders in particular because we don’t believe that International Women’s Day should be the only day of the year that we shine a light on women’s remarkable achievements. Plus until we achieve equality, find out what else we’re doing to support women year round — and join us.
