Women’s Business Network Testimonials
Real Member Experiences
I could tell you what WBN is all about, but I think it’s more powerful to hear it from the women who are part of it
Suzanne Gamache – Suzanne Gamache Healing
Being new to WBN, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect—but I’m so glad I joined. From the start, it’s felt like a genuinely welcoming space. The conversations sparked in meetings are thoughtful and energising, and the connections I’m beginning to build feel both meaningful and encouraging. I’m still finding my rhythm, but already I can see how valuable this network will be.
Helen Chidgey – Leader with Tropic Skincare
Being a part of the WBN group has opened up so many opportunities for me in various ways.
The group collaborated on a project to create a business book for those starting out on their own so I am proud to say I am a co-author of the publication ‘A Guide to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur’ which was shortlisted for the prestigious Business Book Awards 2024
With the support and encouragement of Sharon and other members of the group I entered the Woman Who Achieves awards in 2025 and was delighted to be selected as a finalist. Although not an eventual winner the whole experience helped increase my visibility and boosted my confidence.
I love the current format of the meetings where we can bring any issues to the monthly Business Clinic where the ‘hive mind’ gets to work to help bring about a solution to the problems presented. There’s always someone with the relevant expertise in the room or if not we work on a solution together! The Thursday meetings with guest speakers are a great way to learn new skills whilst connecting with a wider audience. Generally I’ve always felt a sense of warmth, collaboration over competition and I’ve experienced both personal and professional growth by being a WBN member and I’m very grateful to all the ladies involved.

Why I Love Being Part of WBN
I’ve enjoyed every meeting I’ve attended! Sharon creates a warm, open, and trusting environment where everyone feels seen and heard. The business clinics are a real highlight — I always leave with a new idea, a fresh direction, or the satisfaction of helping another member. The Thursday meetings are equally valuable, with engaging speakers and inspiring women in business. For me, the WBN membership is truly money and time well spent — just such a wonderful and supportive community that continues to help me grow both personally and professionally.

Joining WBN has been transformational for my visibility journey. As someone who spent years working behind the scenes, stepping into the spotlight felt daunting. This network provides the perfect environment to practice, grow, and gain confidence.
What I treasure most is the genuine support – these women celebrate your wins, offer practical advice during challenges, and understand the unique pressures of running a business whilst juggling life. The monthly meetings have become my practice ground for speaking about my expertise with confidence.
There’s something magical about being in a room with women who truly “get it” – the challenges of pricing fairly, those imposter syndrome moments, and the joy when a client lights up with understanding. WBN fills that gap every business owner feels: the need for peer connection, honest feedback, and cheerleaders who genuinely want to see you succeed.
That support has meant the world to me, and I know it played a part in my recent win as a Woman Who Solopreneur Awards winner. It’s a reminder that when women champion one another, incredible things happen.
Ellen Badat – Purple Tree Solutions IT support
Being a member of the Women’s Business Network has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s more than just a place to connect—it’s a supportive community of inspiring women who are passionate about their work and generous with their knowledge. The network has given me opportunities to learn, grow, and share ideas with others who truly understand the challenges and triumphs of running a business. I always leave our meetings feeling energised, encouraged, and proud to be part of such a dynamic group.
When you move from working in a large company to running your own business, one of the biggest changes is losing the daily interaction and support of colleagues. That’s where the Women’s Business Network makes a real difference—it fills that gap with a vibrant, collaborative environment where encouragement, shared wisdom, and genuine connection are always on offer.
Naomi Wachner – Calibre VA Services
I had the pleasure of working with Sharon in a personalised 3-hour strategy session, and it was exactly what my business needed. Sharon has an incredible ability to cut through complexity and bring clarity, structure, and strategy in a way that feels both empowering and actionable. In just a few hours, we tackled key challenges and I walked away with great ideas and a plan of action. I highly recommend Sharon’s Power Hours if you’re ready to move your business forward with purpose and direction.
Amanda Edwards – Tidy My Money
I am thrilled to recommend Sharon and her Women Business Network group. Having been a member for a complete year and just renewed for another – I can confidently say that the experience has been exceptional. Sharon’s meticulous attention to detail in communicating and organizing meetings ensures that every member feels valued and supported.
The group’s main meetings are twice a month, with the first meeting dedicated to open discussions among members, allowing us to share our challenges and seek advice. The second meeting features inspiring speakers, providing valuable insights and learning opportunities.
Being part of this network has profoundly supported my business, contributing to real growth. I am incredibly grateful for the support from Sharon and the other members, who are all so lovely. If you’re looking for a community that fosters collaboration and empowerment, I highly recommend joining Sharon’s Women Business network!
Amanda Carlile – Luminary
Sharon has this incredible ability to make you feel at ease, radiating an energy that anything is possible. It’s evident in the community she has nurtured through the Womens Business Network Ltd, and her award-winning book.
Finding your tribe is absolute gold! I am so grateful for the connections I am making to support my business dreams and with women like Sharon championing the way it’s made all the more easy and enjoyable.
I wholeheartedly encourage you to be part of this growing network of women supporting women too. Together, we are unstoppable! ✨💪❤️
Kim Masters MATS Consulting
When I joined the Womens Business Network 2 years ago I felt embarrassed, and shy to talk about the Make Peace with Money side of my business. Meeting after meeting, surrounded by Sharon, and the wonderful members, I experimented with different ways of saying what I did, and started to feel safer, and in such supportive company. I started to become more confident in talking about my business, and more brave in doing 1-2-1’s and in seeing and grabbing opportunities when they arose.
Sharon included me in exciting group projects like the business book we co-wrote, and I loved meeting my fellow members and authors at the launch party. I learned the true meaning of collaboration from Sharon, and the other members, and that is such a valuable lesson. We succeed together, and Sharon is a true example of how this works.
Sharon is continually innovating with WBN, and I’m so excited to see where this wonderful business goes. Thanks Sharon for providing me with a safe and supportive space to grow and blossom.
Alison Taylor: Global Business Development
There are times in business when we need reinforcements. A friendly army of like minded people who can walk by our side. Who will listen to our thoughts, reflect on our dilemmas and successes and cheer us along.
Sharon not only brings her own extensive business knowledge but also has attracted experts from a wide range of business arenas.
We are in safe hands in this group. We can share our troubles and our joys.
And that is invaluable in todays complex business environment.
Sue Green: RixGreen Limited
I love connecting with like-minded women and business owners. I’ve been able to build trusted relationships, boost my professional development, and build a wider network outside my usual circles. I can highly recommend WBN.
Sarah Gray: Sarah Gray Styling
Womens Business Networking is a supportive and friendly online networking group. Each month, there is the opportunity to get to know members as well as meet new ladies. The speakers are always of a high calibre and provide great value. I’m really enjoying the group and am gaining a lot knowledge and making great contacts.
Jackie Monk: Emma Grace Glass Art
I was introduced to Women’s Business Networking, having met it’s founder Sharon Louca at another networking event.
I think many networking groups can boast a great membership, of like minded, supportive and professional members and WBN is no exception. However, two things make this networking stand out for me.
Firstly the quality of the speakers. Sharon must work very hard to engage top quality speakers to address her networking group. Topics range across all areas of business management and personal development and the speakers are engaging, warm and always knowledgeable. I get so much from every presentation.
Secondly, Sharon herself is a perfect host. She quietly but expertly manages each networking session with warmth, authenticity and generosity. She ensures connections are made and allows time for anyone who wishes to speak, share or ask questions.
This networking is one of the most professional I have attended and achieves a perfect balance between professional and personal content and discussion. I would highly recommend it to any woman in business looking for a welcoming, inclusive environment that is full of learning.
Business Brilliance Bootcamp Testimonial by Sarah Gray
The Business Brilliance Bootcamp was exactly that: Business Brilliance.
The sessions were well structured, the presenters were experts in their fields and pitched the level of information just right. I loved how the sessions were (mostly) interactive be that in the chat or with short pre-session work to complete.
Many times, you can attend events and never look back at what you learn. With this bootcamp every session provided actionable takeaways that are realistic for implementing in a small business. Thank you to all involved, it was money and time very well spent and some changes have already been happening in my business as a direct result of this bootcamp.
Julie Hegginbottom
I can really recommend any women business owners to join WBN. Sharon is so knowledgeable about business development and takes the time to get to know you and your business. I felt welcomed into the group right from the start. Members all show an interest in my work and provide encouragement and ideas on how I can move forward. There is such a range of expertise within the group that you can draw on as well as having a safe space to share. You also have the chance to experience the group a couple of times before joining without any pressure at all.
