ABOUT US

The Network was created in 2007 and is part of the national Women of the Future Programme. These initiatives, founded by Pinky Lilani CBE DL, provide a platform for successful ambitious women across the UK.
Our Network runs a series of events annually, to enable members to come together, share experiences and build their own networks.
Membership is by invitation only. Members are identified from among shortlists and champions of our two established national awards programmes; the Women of the Future & Asian Women of Achievement Awards. Additional members are introduced through our other WOF Programme initiatives, fostering the achievements of younger women.
“The Women of the Future network is a diverse network of inclusion, inspiration, collaboration and sharing. It is a chance for me to meet other women who can either help me or I can help them with their venture or journey. We all encourage and instill confidence in each other and want nothing but the best for others in the network.”
