On June 12, SRLV hosted the first in their new series of ‘Women in Business’ events at Soho House. It promised to be a fascinating morning full of insight from five formidable female founders, and so it was!

Natasha Thomas, Founder and CEO of Total Management Group, chaired the panel discussion, and was joined by:

• Georgie Coleridge Cole | Founder and CEO of SheerLuxe
• Olivia Ferdi | Co-Founder of TRIP
• Victoria Prew | Co-Founder and CEO of HURR
• Maria Hatzistefanis | Founder of The Rodial Group

The top floor of Soho House’s 76 Dean Street was full, with 70 guests enjoying a lively, candid conversation packed with astute advice and invaluable tips on what it takes to launch, fund, pivot and sustain a thriving business. There really was something for everyone.

Afterwards, Natasha Thomas shared her thoughts on the day:

“We’ve had some amazing feedback. Everyone loved the discussion and felt it was a good balance of reality and insights. Running a business is not all the glossy reels you get to see on socials. I think people expected it to be all shiny, but sometimes the raw conversation is what resonates!”

The event will feature as a bonus episode in our new SRLV podcast series, launching on 1 July, and we’ll post further details here and on LinkedIn over the coming month.

About the Women in Business series
