Keen to revolutionise the way local female entrepreneurs are supported by their bank, NatWest has recently launched a relationship service dedicated to women.
The exhibition is just one way in which the bank is looking to provide support and a unique experience for female business owners.
The new service was launched in response to the continuing lack of female entrepreneurs in the small business sector. At present women represent only a third of those self employed in the UK.
Elaine Robinson, one of 100 Women In Business ambassadors across the NatWest network in the UK, has been trained to provide additional support to the specific needs of their female customers.
Elaine aims to help woman gain confidence about starting their own business and developing their idea.
research shows that whilst 20 per cent of women consider starting a business only half of that number actually do.
Elaine said: "This event is a great way of getting female business owners together to share ideas, develop their skills and network with other female entrepreneurs.
"In 2009 we will be looking to host more events and to also explore alternative ways in which we can provide additional advice and support to our female clients."
The exhibition on November 28 runs from 10am – 4pm.
