To be inspired.

To have open, meaningful discussions.

To share and learn from fellow exceptional women.



In our industry it's important to find space for women leaders to share experiences, common concerns and learnings. Earlier this year, we launched Limitless specifically for this purpose.


As we reflect on the initiative, we are delighted to see the Limitless community continue to grow and proud to facilitate such valuable, honest conversations alongside hugely inspirational keynote speakers - 25 year financial services veteran, India Gary-Martin, one of the most influential women in tech, Dr. Sue Black, distinguished Labour politician, Baroness Jan Royall of Blaisdon and editor-in-chief of Elle UK, Farrah Storr.


Our next event will take place on Thursday 9th July, please keep an eye out for further updates.

Latest event - International Women's Month


Our latest Limitless event took place Thursday 5th March at Fortnum & Mason in London. We welcomed the exceptional Farrah Storr as our keynote speaker - multi award-winning editor-in-chief of Elle UK, former editor-in-chief of Women's Health and Cosmopolitan, author of The Discomfort Zone, Social Mobility Commissioner and one of one of the capital’s most powerful change makers in media according to The Evening Standard’s Progress 1000.


During her keynote, Farrah shared with us the importance of being comfortable with discomfort - exploring how challenge and change can unlock creativity and human potential. She also discussed authentic, honest leadership, how to create a tribe within your teams and embracing imposter syndrome.
