Description:
WiRE stands for Women in Rural Enterprise and has been offering business support to women in rural business since 1996, when research conducted by senior lecturer Izzy Warren-Smith at Harper Adams University College identified a significant number of farm diversifications were established by women. These female entepreneurs were, however, coming up against a number of barriers, including lack of access to finance, lack of confidence, not being taken seriously, rural isolation, and lack of rural business support.
The first WiRE conference attracted some 500 women and showed that the Countryside is Alive with Business often driven by rural female entepreneurs. WiRE is now a trusted national organisation, which helps rural women develop and grow their business and delivers a range of services in response to member feedback and the needs of women in rural business.

WiRE believes passionately that women in rural business should be heard and valued. They lobby on a national level to keep rural businesses on the political agenda and contribute regularly to national policy as our advice is often sought by Government. WiRE have Prowess flagship status for excellence in women's enterprise development.
