Buy Women Built: Your New Favourite Way to Shop and Support Women-led Businesses

A recent report called the Rose Review revealed some startling facts about women-led businesses:

• We don’t have enough women starting businesses in the UK – we are 30% behind USA, Canada and The Netherlands.  If we reached the same levels as these countries that would add £200bn to the economy 
• Only 1 in 3 UK entrepreneurs is female
• A staggering 80% of 11-18 years olds are unable to name a single female entrepreneur (Santander)
• Children are four times more likely to think of a man than a woman when they hear ‘entrepreneur’ (Santander)
• Only  39% of women are confident in their ability to start a business as opposed to 56% of men 
• If women start businesses at the same rate as men, £250 billion will be added to the UK economy 

We are thrilled to be part of the @BuyWomenBuilt movement to use our enormous power as consumers to support women-built brands and change the shape and face of our economy.

There are so many women-built brands, like Thomson & Scott Noughty, and the fact that consumers don’t know these amazing brands are women-built means we are missing a trick.

In the UK alone we simply don’t have enough women starting businesses - we are 30% behind other developed countries. That affects us all as it means we are missing out on £200 billion that more women-built businesses can contribute to our economy, our future, and our communities. 

So, here at Noughty HQ we say #PlayYourPart and #BuyWomenBuilt.
