A new initiative dedicated to “supporting, connecting and empowering” women in the flex space industry has launched.
Led by technologywithin, Women in Flex aims to “foster inclusivity, amplify women’s voices, and drive meaningful change” in this rapidly growing sector.
The initiative, which is open to women across all roles and levels in the flexible workspace sector, will run exclusive networking events, provide thought leadership and insights and it will also offer mentorship and support from experienced professionals to help women navigate their careers.
To celebrate its launch and International Women’s Day, Women in Flex, in partnership with GCUC UK, is hosting an event on Thursday 6 March 2025, from 5pm to 8pm at MYO St Paul’s, One New Change, London EC4M 9AF.
This exclusive event will feature two powerhouse panels – ‘Lessons from the Ladder: Insights from industry leaders on forging a path to the top’, and ‘Breaking In: Practical advice for those navigating their early years in flex’ – which will be chaired by BE News editor-in-chief Liz Hamson.
Featured speakers include: Helena Hughes, director at Workthere by Savills; Natasha Morris, director of flex offices and head of Myo at Landsec; Laura Peacock, head of sales at Fora; Nicola Jones, customer experience general manager at GPE; Theresa White, head of workspace at CEG; Faith Robins, associate director – head of occupier advisory, UK at Workthere by Savills; Michaela Wrede, head of marketing at Argyll; Tali Meyerowitz, senior customer success manager at Fora; and Alex Young, managing director at Projects.
Mary Nolan, director of marketing at technologywithin, said: ”At technologywithin, we’ve seen first hand the incredible talent and impact that women bring to the flexible workspace industry. However, while there are established communities for women in the broader real estate sector, the flex industry has lacked a dedicated platform for support, mentorship, and professional development.
“Women in Flex was created to change that. Through this initiative, we want to amplify women’s voices, foster collaboration, and create leadership opportunities – ensuring that every woman in flex has access to the guidance and connections she needs to thrive.”
Morris (pictured) added: “This is such an important initiative, and I’m delighted that MYO is hosting the launch event. As the flex industry evolves, it’s more important than ever to support, mentor, and create opportunities for women to thrive. Women in Flex is a fantastic platform to drive these conversations forward and create real change.”
