This commitment will help to ensure a diverse and inclusive system which is good for both business and customers. It will help highlight the valuable work of women whilst opening doors to help advance female entrepreneurs. There are numerous successful businesses and entrepreneurs in South Derbyshire and The Investing in Womens Code will help to see more women succeed not just in South Derbyshire but across the UK.
