Through their monthly networking events and online community, Heels & Deals provides women with connections, business advices, promotional tools and the inspiration to become even better business owners.
Heels & Deals first event in Hong Kong will take place on 5 October 2011, at Bisous at LKF Tower in Central. Female business owners, business partners, freelancers and those thinking about starting a business are all invited.
Launched in 2009 in Dubai, UAE, Heels & Deals has hosted over two and a half thousand women at their events and their online membership is from around the world. Claire Fenner, CEO of the company is excited about expanding to Hong Kong. Fenner said: "Hong Kong is an exceptionally vibrant city that actively encourages entrepreneurship so it’s a perfect location for our first phase of global expansion."
"I created Heels & Deals to help like-minded women reach their full potential by providing a supportive environment where they will make new contacts, learn new skills, gather knowledge and ultimately do ‘deals’. I passionately believe that by empowering these women we can increase the number of female owned businesses across the globe, creating more sustainable and energised economic environments," added Fenner who is now based full-time in Hong Kong.
Fenner received The International Alliance for Women "World of Difference 100 Award 2011" for advancement of the economic empowerment of women and "The Business Woman Award" from Newzglobe in 2010, while Heels & Deals won the Stars of Business Award 2010 for "Most Innovative Company" by SME Advisor Middle East.
