About

The Bees Knees Business Club CIC supports local women in business as valuable contributors to the local economy.

The Bee's Knees Business Club was founded in 2018 by Chloe Peters & Emma Curzon, it is known as a well-established and popular female networking group in the area and has welcomed hundreds of businesses.

Emma has since pursued a fancy job in London and has stepped back from The Bee's Knees. In 2022 we transitioned to a CIC (Community Interest Company). The Bee's Knees Business Club CIC will be known as 'The Bee's Knees' and is a not-for-profit organisation run by three directors: Chloe Peters, Bekka Prideaux & Kate Marriott (meet our management team).

''We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future and can change the world''
