about us
Business Support and Networking for Enterprising Women based in Gateshead and the North East
It's a WIN WIN situation all around and one that all Gateshead businesses should embrace
Established in 1999, WIN has helped many women entrepreneurs through encouraging progressive, open business support and networking
For Gateshead women, you will be part of a network that aims to breakdown barriers such as lack of confidence, low self esteem, lack of opportunities, advice and business support, which often impedes success.
For Gateshead businesses, we offer a range of services that include networking events to encourage business referrals, training workshops and an online directory for member businesses
As a business support and networking organisation, WIN encourages the breaking down of out-moded barriers that still affect women setting up and succeeding in their own businesses. WIN works with a number of related partners and provides regular newsletters and publications
You get to meet like-minded people and inspirational role models from Gateshead and beyond and gain knowledge, skills and networking contacts to meet your needs.
For a business support and networking service that is committed to women, contact Women Into The Network by phone or email, or visit us online
When you contact us please tell us you found our details on The Best Of Gateshead

latest reviews
I joined WIN after being made redundant and wanted to explore business options, attending WIN events, and speaking to the inspirational women there gave me the courage to follow my dream and go to University full time to study for a Masters in Marketing. Hopefully by the end of 2008, Iʼll be in a position to network further. The events are well organsied and provide a "safe" environment to network with like minded women.
I joined WIN 3 years ago at an early stage of my business development and was delighted to be part of something that supported women like myself who wanted to grow by learning and being inspired by other successful women. WIN offers just that opportunity, it offers information, support and advice from other women in business but it also celebrates the successes and helps motivate other women on their journey to success. Nickie Gott, She’s Gott It! Events, Marketing & PR
WIN has had a massive impact on myself and my business, the networking opportunities have been fantastic and I have met some phenomenally inspiring women. WIN is a real role model for anybody involved in womenʼs development and they should sit up and take notice of what WIN have achieved. Judith Healey, Managing Director, Judith Healey Associates
I’ve really benefited from meeting people at WIN events. It reminds me that I’m not out there on my own and leads to opportunities I never knew existed. Maralyn O’Keefe, The Glass and Art Gallery
