ASB’s new sponsorship aims to champion female entrepreneurial success

ASB is a new gold sponsor of Company of Women (Co.OfWomen), an organisation developed and led by successful entrepreneurs to champion female entrepreneurial success.

“Working together with Co.OfWomen is a fantastic opportunity to connect with entrepreneurial women and work together to foster and champion their success,” says Anna Curzon, ASB’s General Manager of Marketing.

“With hundreds of members nationwide Co.OfWomen is a hub where innovative business women across a diverse range of experiences and industries can network, share ideas and support each other in a unique, female-only environment.”

Members of Co.OfWomen get access to specialised mentoring with experienced, successful entrepreneurs, business resources, growth programmes, an online social network, a series of events and a new network of like-minded women in business.

"ASB's commitment to supporting success made them a natural choice of partner for us,” says Tara Lorigan, founder of Co.OfWomen. "We are excited about the practical support and experience ASB will bring to our members.”

In 2013 ASB won the Supreme Award in the inaugural Women’s Empowerment Principles White Camellia Awards that recognise organisations dedicated to increasing gender equality in the workplace. ASB has also worked to develop relationships with organisations like the Dairy Women’s Network that is committed to working with women in farming.
