Looking for networking events for women in business?
Meet Starla Business Network, founded by Rachael Barnes to bring ambitious women together. π€
Our paths crossed when she chose our meeting rooms to host her meetings in Barry.
Created 4 years ago in Newport, Starla was built with one clear purpose:
To offer a welcoming, relaxed space where women at any stage of their business journey can connect, collaborate, and grow, without pressure or barriers. π
What makes it different?
Meetings are designed around life, fitting in around school runs, busy schedules, and everything in between.
As Starla grew into Barry, finding the right space was key, somewhere flexible, welcoming, and easy to access.
The Business Centre was the perfect fit. π
βI loved the welcome, the private room, and the opportunity to stay for lunch. Free parking is a plus point too.β
Weβre proud to provide the space where communities like Starla can connect and grow.
