Membership for ambitious entrepreneurs ready to scale

Programme for Growth is your next step to scaling with confidence

Expert support, trusted connections and a community that grows with you.

Are you ready to join?

Welcome from Lynne Kennedy MBE

I know the challenges of scaling a business first hand. That’s why I want you to have a supportive platform where you can turn for expert advice, guidance, and real connections. The journey of entrepreneurship can feel lonely, but you don’t have to do it alone.

We know the challenges—that’s why we have identified that there needs to be more support at this critical stage of your business growth. Being part of a community of like-minded women will help you find the answers, opportunities, and support you need to scale with confidence.

Welcome to the BWS Programme for Growth – let’s grow together.

What Makes Programme for Growth Different?

Programme for Growth is more than a one-day event — it's an all-year platform built to support women scaling their businesses with real, practical help.

What’s In It for You?

A full support system that saves you time, money, and costly mistakes — and helps you build the thriving, scalable business you deserve.

The Real Secret to Success

There are no big leaps — just small, consistent gains.

Success comes from showing up every day, especially on the days you don’t feel like it. It’s doing the boring, tedious tasks that build the foundation for real growth. There’s no shortcut.

Growing your business is tough. It takes a plan, a proven formula, and a whole lot of hard work.

Nothing
happens
overnight

Never give up

Consistency is
everything

What Our Members Say

I attended the 2025 Programme for Growth in Aberdeen - a brilliant event organised by Business Women Scotland, featuring a host of industry experts across various disciplines and a follow up panel session for individual / tailored guidance and advice. Both sessions were hugely informative and useful and the event was well organised and hosted by Lynne Kennedy.

Suzanne Bird

I attended the Programme for Growth as part of my journey in shaping my small business, and it exceeded my expectations. The full-day event was packed with valuable insights, practical information, and inspiring speakers who helped me gain clarity on my business direction and opportunities. I’m leaving with a clear plan, actionable steps, and a renewed sense of purpose for my business growth. Huge thanks to everyone involved in organising and delivering such an impactful event!

Julie Daly

Very grateful to have found this friendly & supportive group of female business owners where I have joined as a member. I enjoy the connections made at monthly networking events and also the wider access to support, learning & growth available, having just taken part in the Programme for Growth day in Glasgow yesterday. I am excited to work with these inspiring ladies & am already feeling the benefits in my own personal mindset & my business too.
