Welcome To Superwoman

Once upon a time Bethan Darwin went out with some of her girl friends, they all drank a little too much wine and talked a lot. They talked about issues that were affecting their respective businesses and by combining their professional skills came up with suggestions for resolving those issues. They asked each other for recommendations for a mortgage broker, an accountant, a caterer and a curtain maker and those recommendations were good and were followed. They laughed a lot...

“What about setting up a business women’s networking evening, one that would be fun and informative, like the evening we’ve just had?” said one of the friends.
“Great idea,” said another. “We could find some sponsors for it and raise some money for charity while we’re at it.”
“Let’s call it Superwoman!” Bethan said, “because all women need to be Superwoman nowadays, juggling work, family commitments and a social life. We can have a great big get together and share our stories of how we manage to do it all and still just about manage to find time to iron our capes.”
And in the morning Bethan found that not only did she have a hangover but that she had also agreed to organise Superwoman.

The first Superwoman seminar took place in October 2005 and was attended by around 55 women. Attendance figures have increased year on year and have now reached 150. Superwoman 6 takes place on 14 October 2010. Thanks to word of mouth and recommendations, Superwoman information goes out to a database of almost 900 women and in addition to the main October seminar each year, Superwoman now also runs between three and four smaller networking events a year including a lunch in April. All of the events raise money for a variety of charities. So far, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, Superwoman has raised over £20,000.

Bethan has received and continues to receive a lot of ribbing from her male partners at Darwin Gray about Superwoman. Bethan ignores them but is grateful to them for supporting Superwoman.

Superwoman Cookbook

To celebrate our fifth Superwoman seminar and to raise money for cancer charity Tenovus, Superwoman has launched her very own cookbook. With fresh, fun, recipes by award winning chef Emma Jenkins of E J Catering and with fab photography by Alex Mills of Burning Red, the Superwoman Cookbook makes an ideal present for any occasion. Every penny of the £5 purchase price goes to Tenovus thanks to the generosity of our advertisers and the people involved in the production of the cookbook. The cookbook can be purchased from Tenovus shops and also from the offices of E J Catering, Darwin Gray, Effective Communications and Flowers with a Twist. See images from the cookbook here
