Driving success for
female MDs, CEOs, Founders and
Business Owners

We’re breaking barriers

91% of female entrepreneurs have experienced gender bias and inequality in business. Even today, we’re still under-represented, unsupported and underfunded. This has to change.

FAB is the UK’s first female peer advisory group, building an alliance of exceptional female leaders. We’re helping women of all backgrounds smash through ceilings and realise their full potential. Are you ready to invest in your future?

Don’t see a FAB board group in your region? We’re connecting with ambitious women across the UK. If you think we should bring a board group to your area, please send us a message to register your interest.

What to expect

Confidential peer advisory groups

At each meeting, you'll tap into the insight and expertise of ambitious and fearless leaders from non-competing industries. Every FAB member offers new perspectives and advice you won't find elsewhere. Your Chair will help you build the right mindset to reach your goals faster. Plus, you’ll hear from expert speakers nationwide who'll empower you to elevate your business.

Dedicated one-to-one/group mentoring

Outside the peer advisory group, you’ll meet with the board Chair to dive deeper into your challenges and goals. Our Chairs are experienced female leaders who are passionate about supporting your success. For FAB Grow members, this means online group mentoring, while FAB Scale and Enterprise members benefit from one-to-one in-person coaching. You’ll also work through accountability measures that positively change your future.

Exclusive annual events

We invite all FAB Members to our exclusive events. Learn from keynote speakers, workshop ideas and network with Members from other groups. These events occur yearly, celebrating what we've achieved and what is yet to come. You'll also be able to immerse yourself in a self-discovery FAB retreat.
