WeAreTheCity.com was launched in 2008, with the aim of providing information to women who wish to progress in their careers via networking and events. The concept of the project is to provide services that not only help women develop themselves both personally and professionally, but also contributes to a wider strategy of supporting working women in the UK more broadly by bringing together the charity sector and potential entrepreneurs on to one common platform.
The Rising Star awards were introduced to showcase the UK pipeline of female talent below management and to create female role models across different industries and professions.
More information about the awards can be found here.
