Connect, Collaborate, Celebrate

We believe in the power of connection, collaboration, and celebration of women's achievements. That’s why we’ve founded the Women in Furniture Network. Whatever position you hold within the furniture industry, our group offers a supportive space where you can grow and thrive professionally.    

Most importantly, we want to give you the platform and network to share your perspectives to learn and connect with other like-minded women in the industry. Therefore, we are excited to bring you specialised networking events to support professional growth in a male-dominated industry.

Mentorship

Our events are the perfect space to meet and connect but we know that sometimes you need support or advice outside of our events. So we have created the Mentorship Platform where you can connect with our group of Mentors all at the top of their field across the furniture industry.

The platform is your space to connect with Mentors ready and willing to share their expertise and insights no matter what stage you are at on your career journey. Our diverse collection of Mentors are here to inspire, advise and support our fast growing network. Whether you are looking for long term mentoring or some advice on facing a challenge, our group of Mentors are here to help.

Previous Speakers

Our previous panel speakers represent a powerful cross-section of leaders shaping the future of the furniture and interiors industry. From design and manufacturing to retail, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, each speaker brought valuable insight, lived experience, and practical wisdom to the conversation.

Through honest discussion and shared stories, they explored leadership journeys, industry challenges, innovation, and the importance of supporting women at every stage of their careers. Together, these voices have inspired meaningful dialogue, fostered connection, and strengthened a growing network committed to collaboration, visibility, and positive change across the furniture sector.
