The Women in Furniture Network has launched an online mentorship platform, designed to allow members to build lasting mentor/mentee relationships beyond the network’s physical events.
The platform will offer members the opportunity to connect with and learn from experienced professionals within the furniture industry.
Mentoring plays an important role in women’s careers, boosting confidence, providing career guidance, and opening doors to more opportunities. This is especially critical in industries such as furniture, which historically has been male-dominated.
WIFN’s mission is to support women at all stages of their careers and give them access to the advice and guidance they need, when they need it.
‘We are delighted to launch the WIFN mentorship platform, which is the perfect way for women from across the industry to come together to support each other as they navigate their careers in the furniture industry. Mentoring has had a hugely positive impact on my career and I look forward to seeing how other women can also benefit. As the network continues to grow we look forward to seeing what else we can do to support our members now and for the future,’ says Zoe Bonser, Clarion Events retail portfolio director.
