"Louise has been absolutely brilliant during lockdown, she has kept everyone connected and she has offered more than other networking groups. She is very encouraging and very supportive. For me I'm really glad I found Louise and I look forward to my third year of membership."

Laura Collins, WIBN Sandy & Biggleswade

Louise Yexley

Along with a background in HR and Employee Development, Louise previously ran an award winning marketing business for 10 years. She has been with WIBN almost from the start so has huge experience in the world of networking. She runs local business expos and is a judge for national business awards.

Over the years Louise has run numerous events for her WIBN members including International Women's Day and Summer Meetings for over 100 members. She firmly believes that networking works best when you get to know each other and do things collaboratively. Recently, members took part in a virtual marathon with their own WIBN Strava group which helped many members get out and about over 30 days and raise funds for the charity members in the groups.

Louise has been a regular contributor to 3 Counties Radio discussing various topics around business and lifestyle and presents on a business start up programme on the benefits of networking for your business. She has run Business Expos for SMEs for over 5 years.

Connecting people is Louise’s role and one she loves doing.
