A Platform for Inspiration, Empowerment & Growth
Organised by Headz Up Business, this high-impact event has played a key role in supporting female entrepreneurship, connecting business leaders, and fostering economic success. Through expert-led panel discussions, networking opportunities, and knowledge-sharing sessions, the expo creates a space where women can raise awareness of workplace challenges while also discovering practical solutions in a digital age.
The event provides a platform to highlight challenges but also champion solutions, creating an environment where 'women inspire women'—sharing experiences, celebrating achievements, and driving collective success.
Women and Work: Post-World War II
HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The end of World War II brought a significant rise in female employment. By the 1970s, women's participation in the UK workforce had reached a turning point. In 1971, the employment rate for women aged 16 to 64 stood at 52.7%.
This era also saw key legislative advancements, including the Sex Discrimination Act of 1975, which aimed to promote gender equality in the workplace.
While women's presence in the labour market has grown over the years, disparities persist.
Entrepreneurship in the Digital Age
MODERN ERA
Today, starting a business is easier than ever, thanks to the rise of e-commerce, social media, and digital marketing tools. Entrepreneurs can scale their businesses with minimal upfront investment, leveraging websites, online marketplaces, and social media to reach global audiences instantly.
Automation and AI-powered tools streamline everything from customer service to sales, eliminating many traditional barriers and making entrepreneurship more accessible than ever.
Through Headz Up Business, the Women in Business Expo has helped raise and increase entrepreneurship, offering women the tools, skills, and networks needed to thrive.
