HOT on the heels of International Women’s Day, the Broker News team is excited to announce the first regional Women in Broking event.
Following the success of last year’s inaugural Women in Broking Live! in London, the female-focused networking events are now going regional.
The next Women in Broking Live! will take place on 15 May, hosted by Partridge BMW of Hampshire in Eastleigh, close to Southampton. The event is set to take place at its state-of-the art showroom, which is BMW’s largest corporate centre and a premier hub for electric and plug-in hybrid models.
Event attendees can expect a three hour programme, running from late morning, including informal networking, mentoring opportunities, and a light lunch.
"Our Women in Broking Live! events were created in response to feedback from the broking sector highlighting a lack of female-focused networking opportunities. The success of last year’s London event proved there was a real appetite for this kind of networking so it made sense to expand the events regionally. Taking the events beyond the capital allows us to reach more women which we hope will foster new connections and build an even stronger broker community."
Lukas Ryan, Head of Business at BMW Partridge of Hampshire, explains why the team was keen to get involved:
“At BMW Partridge, we believe in championing diversity. Automotive is evolving, and ensuring that women have a strong platform for collaboration, growth, and mentoring is crucial for the industry’s future. As a relationship business, we understand the power of community and mentorship, and the Women in Broking Live! event aligns perfectly with our values. We look forward to welcoming attendees to Hampshire.”
Bookings for the event will open shortly, with a total of 30 tickets available. For more details and to stay updated on booking information, follow us on Broker News LinkedIn and Broker News X.
Partridge BMW is also an award sponsor of Best Volume Broker at the Broker News Awards 2025.
