Plus Local Business woman who loved the wine so much that she bought the Essex based vineyard

  • Who wouldn't love to have their own vineyard, producing award winning wine, just a few miles from home?

  • And why are Essex women sending their bras and knickers to Africa?

Founder ofThe Essex Business Women's Experience, Rosemary Cunningham will be wowing her clients at this year's event with wine from her own vines.

It is theonlyExpo in Essex for womenat all stages of business onJune 16at thePark Inn Radisson Hotel in Southend. In its 3rdyear, this business event also raises awareness for families throughout remote, rural Africa through the Mumba Children's Project.

Rosemary Cunningham, founder says "I took a group of friends to New Hall for a wine tasting and loved the whole atmosphere there.  The wine has won so many awards and the vineyard is now managed by a team of amazing women! So, I rented a row of vines for the business!"

"The EBWE is the event I want to go to.  There's nothing dry or boring there.  We showcase amazing Essex women business owners on our 65 stands, provide great food, fascinating, inspiring speakers and it's by the seaside!

We are also collecting Essex women's bras, knickers and jewellery to send over to disadvantaged women in Africa so they can create products to sell in order to create an income for their families. These women are often in abusive relationships and have no means to earn money.

This year ourkeynote speakersincludeJaney Lee Grace from Radio 2,Kubi Springerwho has worked with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Rolls Royce andSarah Arrow, an Essex lady who is also an international blogging expert.

Businesses set up by women contributed £3.5bn to the UK economy and created 77,000 jobs in 2015. With London being announced as the third best city for female entrepreneurs of course Essex is hot on its heels.

More women each year are choosing to have the flexibility of working for themselves and setting up their own business. Having been in business for over 20 years Rosemary Cunningham realised that Business women thrive when they are able to collaborate and support each other. Her idea for the Essex Business Women's Experience in 2015 was to help showcase other women and it just keeps growing. There were over 400 attendees at the Park Inn Palace hotel in Southend last June and this year is set to have over 500 attendees. The vision of being able help women get started in business as well as showcase more established businesses with a focus on collaboration and support has taken off.
