…That entrepreneurship is the new women’s movement and so we should do all we can to support it. Female founded small businesses contribute £85 billion to the UK’s economic output every year, yet are vastly underfunded. If women started businesses at the rate of men, this would contribute £250 billion into the economy over five years, as well as enabling us the freedom to work in a way that works for us; to care for our families and to fulfil our potential to benefit society. 

If we all shopped from female founded businesses once a month, we’d repurpose £1.3 billion — so you really are voting with your money every time you do. By pooling our resources, sharing our knowledge and shining a light on our role models, we can start to change the business landscape forever.
