VIP greeting for Nicky

Forward Ladies, the not for profit business womens' network and support group, rolled out the red carpet for inspirational speaker, Nicky Pattinson at the Sheffield Marriott.

More than 100 women – 80 per cent of them new Forward Ladies members - attended the event.

They heard how Nicky, rated one of the top 10 lady speakers in the UK today, overcame personal tragedy and went on to open the doors to hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of new business both in the UK and overseas for her clients.

Forward Ladies was founded five years ago by Etta Cohen.
