Regus and business guru Lynne Franks have launched two new clubs aimed at women entrepreneurs.
Regus and business guru Lynne Franks have launched two new clubs aimed at women entrepreneurs.
B.Hive Business Clubs has opened two new business hubs in Manchester and Bristol. There is already one in London, which was launched last September by Lynne Franks in collaboration with global workplace provider Regus.
B.Hive is created specifically with women in mind and offers hubs and lounges for businesswomen to network, meet clients or simply find a professional haven.
The new B.Hive hubs are located at the Regus business centres in King Street, Manchester and Temple Quay, Bristol. The B.Hive Lounges are furnished with comfortable Shabby Chic pieces, vintage chandeliers, artwork by top painter international Natasha Zupan and murals from Charlotte Adler based on Lynne Franks’ SEED affirmations.
Franks says: “Our members often work from home and really have welcomed a stylish space where they can hold meetings, hotdesk and network with like-minded women in a feminine friendly environment.”
Celia Donne, Regional Director for Regus, who has worked closely with Lynne on the B.Hive development, said: “Women, whether from the corporate, creative or entrepreneurial world, have responded very powerfully to the idea of their own space; a place where they can hold meetings for both women and men, as well as catch up with their work in a professional environment.”
B.Hive hosts regular events featuring experts from the fields of business, well-being, style and personal development, enabling members and guests to be coached on areas of interest. Specific women’s industry gatherings, charity events, product and PR launches are now regularly on the agenda for B.Hive.
Partnerships with major fashion retailers such as Jaeger and Debenhams, hair and beauty specialists Aveda and travel organisations including Virgin Atlantic and Well-being Escapes are offering B.Hive members special discounts and hospitality.
B.Hive membership costs £25 plus VAT per month.
