We went to catch up with Durham’s leading Women in Business Society for Afternoon Tea. They are announcing their new exec soon so we wanted to learn a little more about this ever-expanding society.
DUWIB held the event at Whisky River where they were hosting Afternoon Tea for members, especially for the current Exec to get to know next year’s applicants better.
With pots of tea and cupcakes from BeTempted! it was a relaxing revision break with a group of Durham’s most glamorous and ‘go-get-‘em’ girls.
DUWIB is a platform bringing aspiring individuals together. It continues to grow and currently boasts over 1,500 members! It is a springboard for students to meet and discuss ideas, learn about the trials and tribulations of applications, interviews, internships, grad schemes… you get where I’m going with this.
The girls I spoke to all have varying degrees, interests and ideas for the future, and even for the future of society next year. This is a society for Durham’s women to meet and get excited about future career plans without any stigma attached, in an environment for enterprising students to think more seriously about business.
Key sponsors are in law and finance, but also the likes of consumer good brands like Nestlé, with another company asking us to be sponsors for next year already. The society wants to encourage people interested in all business areas, including those wanting to set up their own businesses.
