Sponsor an award or activity

There are many ways in which Women in the City can be a channel to market for your products and services.

Organisations sponsor various aspects of our Awards Programme, our award-wining Annual Celebration Lunch launched in 2003 and engage with us in other ways.

All Women in the City social events have what others describe as "that special atmosphere".  We'll be delighted to work with you so that when you sponsor a Women in the City activity, we maximise opportunities for like-minded people to build, nurture and leverage relationships and for your organisation to meet its objectives.

To discuss how your company can sponsor Women in the City contact Gwen Rhys by phone on 0704 404 7497 or email.

Award sponsors have a unique opportunity to be associated with a highly successful Awards Programme and demonstrate both internally and externally their commitment to the progress of women in the workplace.

They are able to connect with some of the most influential women in a particular sector and develop on-going business relationships with them and their organisations.

Women in the City worked together with Lusso and its PR company. The effectiveness of the sponsorship was monitored and assessed, with positive feedback from Paul Hurren, managing director of Lusso, who said:

“Sponsoring the Women in the City Awards has given Lusso an additional voice in the City and opened up new networking opportunities. It has given us several great opportunities to showcase our wonderful food, as well as talking about our many healthy eating initiatives and the importance we place on seasonality."
