Area Lead for Pershore
Hi I am Helen Yandell and I am the owner of Helen Yandell Photography. I help businesses become visible with awesome photography to attract their ideal clients – I specialise in Personal Brand, Business brand, Food and Interiors. Professional images, whether for our website, social media or other marketing materials, can really make your business stand out from the crowd. I have been a photographer for over 20 years working in most genres, but now my focus is on helping Worcestershire businesses to stand out.
I spend a lot of time networking and I love the supportive Women Who UK community. It’s a network that cheers each other on and promotes collaboration over competition. Being a brand rep lets me meet a whole host of amazing women led businesses and I LOVE helping with ideas and suggestions. If anyone is struggling, it’s so much easier to see opportunities in other people’s businesses rather than your own and this is where the supportive network created by Women Who UK is so unique.
Area Lead for Kidderminster
Hi, I am Kasia, Ostler, Mortgage & Protection Adviser. I support and guide people in meeting all their mortgage and protection needs across Worcestershire and the UK. I have over 17 years of experience within the UK finance sector and I am passionate about guiding others, especially self-employed business owners, about their mortgage and protection options. I truly believe in treating others the way you want to be treated and personalised and friendly advice suited to each person and their family is my overriding priority.
I joined the Women Who, Worcestershire network in May 2019 and I have seen the network grow from a handful of ladies to its current size and I just love the supportive and kind nature of this community. Everyone is there to cheer one another, offer advice and recommend to others. Since becoming self-employed full time in 2020, both online and face-to-face networking was my way to speak to other like minded and passionate people. Becoming a Women Who UK brand representative for the Kidderminster area, allowed me to combine all the best aspects of networking by connecting with and supporting an amazing variety of local female business owners.
