Celebrating a Decade of Impact & Women's Empowerment

For ten years, Barking Enterprise Centre has been where our community's boldest ideas take root. It has been a place where dreams grow into livelihoods, and where belief in people has transformed our borough. As we celebrate International Women's Day and Women's Empowerment Month, we invite you to join us for a special breakfast networking event: People, Stories, Conversations.

• Date: 31 March
• Time: 9:30 am – 11:00 am
• Location: BEC , 50 Cambridge Road, Barking, IG11 8FG
• Cost: Free

This isn't just a celebration; it's the start of our year-long celebration of ten years of impact. It’s a moment to honour the incredible women, the founders, leaders, and innovators, who have been central to our story and to the economic and social fabric of Barking and Dagenham.

Come and connect with the people who have shaped our past and those who are building our future. Hear their stories of resilience, growth, and success, and join the conversation about what the next ten years of enterprise and empowerment will look like.

Let’s celebrate a decade of community transformation and kick off the next chapter, together. What to expect from the morning.

• Networking. Connect with fellow entrepreneurs, BEC tenants, alumni, local business leaders, and partners over a complimentary breakfast.
• Inspiration: Hear from inspiring speakers who will share their journeys and insights.
• Conversation: Share your story, your ideas, and your vision for the future of enterprise in our community.
• Celebration: Be the first to hear about our exciting plans for our 10-year anniversary and how you can be involved.
