Focusing on You - Join PBN

So why should I join PBN?

There are so many reasons to join our friendly group. If you ask current members many will have a different reason for joining, but we all have the same reason why we stay: it’s the support we give each other. Having access to a wide network of genuine, intelligent and caring women who live near you is brilliant. We listen to each other, offer advice and support where required, share skills and local knowledge, and generally can show up for that all important cheerleader role in your life!

Of course, there are also lots of tangible benefits too:

  • As well as accessing your local PBN members’ directory you will also gain FREE access to almost 1000 other Scottish Business Women via your ASB membership – worth £30!

  • Regular monthly meetings allow you to chat, discuss and share knowledge and contacts with like-minded women.

  • PBN’s Linked In Group and Hive Mind group of Facebook give you fantastic online forums for tapping into members knowledge and contacts

  • Make your social media go further with sharing and posting via PBN’s channels

  • Keep it professional with members’ offers on a range of services and goods for your business.

  • Meet some of the area’s most inspirational women, do business with them, make friends and together build a better working environment for women in Perthshire.

I have gained some fantastic contacts and leads via PBN over the years. The women genuinely want to help you achieve your aims.
