Peer group empowers female business leaders

A “transformative” Yorkshire-based initiative is expanding its support for female entrepreneurs with the launch of a new peer group aimed at high-growth businesses.

The Female Advisory Board (FAB), the UK’s first all-female peer advisory group, has launched FAB Enterprise to help female-led businesses with a turnover of £3 million “access the support, guidance and collaboration” needed to “scale to the next level”.

The new group joins FAB Grow, which supports businesses under £500,000, as well as FAB Scale, designed for companies exceeding £500,000.

Collectively, members generate over £100 million in turnover and employ more than 500 people. 

Founded in 2023 by Samantha Addy, FAB has rapidly grown to 25 members, with plans to surpass 50 members by April by expanding regionally and creating a national network to foster greater collaboration.

Samantha said: “FAB Enterprise is more than just a peer advisory group; it's a transformative alliance where female leaders of multi-million-pound businesses can access the support, guidance and collaboration they need to scale to the next level.

“In the fast-paced and often isolating world of business leadership, having a trusted group of like-minded peers can make all the difference. 

“FAB Enterprise provides a unique space for these exceptional women to invest in both their personal and professional growth, break through the challenges holding them back and ultimately achieve greater success. 

“Together, we’re redefining what it means to be a leader in today’s competitive landscape.”
