Empowerment Tuesday
Meet Jayne Lasley, Founder of Fairlie Curved
We’re delighted to welcome Jayne Lasley, founder of Fairlie Curved, to our next Empowerment Tuesday at Barclays.
Jayne started her business during Covid after discovering her final-year degree show project sitting in her garage. Having also been made redundant, she decided it was now or never to take the leap and build a business of her own.
Keeping the Fairlie family name at the heart of her brand, Jayne has grown Fairlie Curved from that original idea into a business that is going from strength to strength.
And there have been some pretty exciting moments along the way! When one of her products appeared on ITV’s Lorraine, the exposure was so great that it crashed the website!
We know from our own BWS research that 58% of business owners struggle to find new customers — so Jayne’s experience of building a recognisable brand, getting her products in front of the right audience and turning exposure into growth is one we know our audience will find incredibly valuable.
Join us as Jayne shares the story behind Fairlie Curved, what she has learned about growing a brand, and what it really takes to turn an idea into a successful business.
Empowerment Morning Meetings
Join us on the first Tuesday morning of every month for our Empowerment Morning Meetings — a welcoming and inspiring space for women in business to connect, grow, and be seen.
With more and more women now working from home, it’s easy to feel isolated behind a screen. These mornings are a chance to step away from the desk, get out of the house, and reconnect in person with like-minded women who understand the journey of running a business or building a career.
Our meetings are relaxed yet purposeful, creating space to share stories, exchange ideas, and build genuine relationships in a supportive environment. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, or professional woman, you’ll find encouragement, understanding, and inspiration from others who are walking a similar path.
Over coffee and conversation, you’ll start your month feeling energised, connected, and reminded that you don’t have to do business alone.
Why join us?
Step away from home working and connect face-to-face
Meet supportive, ambitious women in business
Share experiences, stories, and opportunities
Build meaningful relationships in a relaxed setting
Start your month feeling empowered and motivated
Come along, bring your business cards, and be part of a community that champions women in business.
