A business network for women in Preston is celebrating its 20th anniversary this week.

The Preston Exchange Network was set up in 1993 to give women to chance to network and learn from one another.

It was set up with just 12 members but has now grown to have over 150.

Rowan Mellalieu, Chair of PEN and a founder member, says: “We are delighted to be celebrating 20 years of providing an enjoyable forum for business and professional women in and around Preston. Lots of our former members will be celebrating with us on 26th September and we are looking forward to a fantastic chance to catch up with members old and new and a well-deserved glass of champagne.”

20 years of networking will be celebrated with a champagne reception at Bartle Hall on Thursday 26 September from 4pm.

Anyone wishing to attend should contact Gill Graveson, PEN secretary, on 01772 552 263 or email gxgraveson@birchallblackburn.co.uk.
