Tribal network is helping women to join forces
centre and ran a successful traumasensitive yoga and relaxation programme, week-long wellbeing courses and trips away.
Kelly moved back to Huddersfield with her husband Michael in March, 2017, and went full-time with Yorkshire Yogi.
Kelly offers a range of services to schools, companies and individuals. She is also opening her own Yoga and Wellbeing studio in New Mill and is running The Huddersfield Yoga and Wellbeing Festival on August 11.
Kelly will now run the Huddersfield “tribe” of Girl Tribe Gang, which provides an alternative to traditional corporate networking with “no suits, no hotels, no corporate nonsense, no breakfast meetings, no sticky name labels, no eating in front of strangers, no board tables, no awkward introductions, no men and no death by PowerPoint presentations”.
Kelly Said: “This is a really exciting venture for me and one that I am so excited to be involved in. I know how isolating working alone at home can be, so I am looking forward to finding like-minded women in my community – women who are working from their kitchen table or home office doing work that works for them and their family - and bringing everyone together.
“It’s all about creating a community of like-minded women, a level playing field and an eco-system of support and encouragement among women who totally get what it feels like to be on your own in business.”
Girl Tribe Gang already had “tribes” in Yorkshire, the North West, the Home Counties and the South West. “Tribe Bosses” include an ex-retail head buyer, a corporate accountant, a director of communications, a probation officer, an HR director and a Foreign Office executive. USINESSES in Kirklees and Calderdale are being offered support in the fight against cyber crime.
Lindley-based Orchard Facilities Management has launched a new initiative aimed at protecting organisations from cyber attack and helping them meet the latest data protection legislation.
Managing director Neil Ewing said the firm had been awarded Cyber Essentials certification and was now preparing to help its clients meet the same rigorous standards.
“There is a huge push from the government to encourage all businesses, large and small, to become Cyber Essentials certified as part of the new General Data Protection Regulation but it can be an onerous process,” he said.
“It is possible to do it independently, but the specific information that needs to be supplied to the accreditation body and the time involved can be significant.”
Cyber Essentials covers the key threats to cyber security including hacking, phishing and hostile attempts to log in to IT systems.
“It has huge benefits for businesses of all sizes, including public and private organisations and charities,” said Neil.
“As well as protecting your own business from the threat of cyber attack, certification reassures your customers that you value their data and take a proactive approach to cyber security, which is really important at a time when there’s such a big focus on data protection.”
