Grow

For founders building a business, at any stage.

Everything you need to get there faster, connecting with women doing it alongside you.

Whether you’re mulling over an idea, have just launched or you’re past your first £100k, Grow is where you build the skills, confidence, and connections to take your business further. Every month, in every region, you’ll find practical workshops, relaxed socials, and programmes designed for exactly where you are now.

What’s in Grow

Workshops

Practical monthly sessions delivered by founders and experts who’ve been where you are, on the things that move a business forward. Free for members.

Socials

Relaxed, regular evenings with no agenda and no hard sell. The easiest way to meet your people, and often where the best introductions happen.

Co-working

Regular days alongside fellow members in your local hub. Bring your laptop, get your head down, and do more than you would alone.

Find your local hub

We’re building a national network around regional communities. We meet in person across the West Midlands, East Midlands, London, and from Q1 2027, The North. Each hub is run with ambassadors who know their business community inside out.

Where The 51% Club was born. Our home is The Wilmot, a beautifully restored building in the Jewellery Quarter, and the site where we offer co-working to female founders and leaders.

Ambassadors: Becky Benbow, Charlotte Bowden, Clare Radford, Krishna Ruparelia, Lily Samuels, Sana Saddique, and Yvvy Chideya.

1 Mill Street is our Leamington home, a vibrant co-working space in the heart of the action. With private offices, meeting rooms, and a podcast studio, this is where community really comes to life.

Ambassadors: Holly Nixon, Katie Jones, and Nadi Pankovska

Our first East Midlands hub, supported by Leicester City Council through LCB Depot, the city’s creative industries hub and home to 150 businesses, and its brand new space, The Canopy.

Ambassadors: Emily Smith, Erica Whiteman, Joanna O’Neill, Lorna Taylor, Nadia Rafiq, and Susan Murchison.

Soho Works is our London home, hosting us at both Shoreditch and White City. Part of the Soho House family, it’s sophisticated, high energy, and exactly the right backdrop for ambitious women to connect. We’re also delighted to be working with The Hearth, giving our London community a second place to gather.

Ambassadors: Becky Emery, Pinky Gupta, Rebecca Leppard, and Romana Raj.
