“It has meant the world to me to be GA for 22/23 for Assist Womens Network. I am very passionate about Assist and their values. Assist supported me when I started out in running my own business, helping my confidence to grow, pushing my comfort zones and allowed me a platform in which to support other wonderful women to do the same It was a lonely place starting out in business until these wonderful ladies found me. I believe my confidence has grown due to the support of assist especially when it comes to public speaking and Assist have helped me to make many new connections with other awesome Teesvalley Business women, many of which I now count as personal friends. I love that the Assist is very relaxed and informal, many of the networking events are different and no pressure situations.

Ann and the Assist committee, regional hosts and supporters truly make a difference in our region. I can’t speak highly enough of them all. Power women making a difference and I am very proud to be a small part of this brilliant teesvalley organisation.

My standout GA moment, aside from the lovely ceremony where It was announced and we all had tears in our eyes was the tree planting ceremony they held for me in Stewarts park in Middlesbrough. How lovely that they have done this for me ( a true ‘pinch me’ moment)and many other women that have a tree in the sisterwood to recognise the achievements of teesvalley women. I am honoured to be up there too. A very special place I can take my two children to visit for many years to come. GA has allowed me to have input in to the network, make suggestions and introduce some of my own connections to this wonderful network. I truly have never come across such a group of supportive, amazing strong women all doing fantastic things to push boundaries and break the mould while spotlighting and pushing each other forward and they expect nothing but support and encouragement in return. I think it’s very important to also highlight, there is no fee to be part of assist or attend their events, all these fabulous ladies give their time for free to support each other. Truly Awesome!
