# JIGSAW Business Women
JIGSAW Business Women is a not-for-profit networking organisation based in Pontypridd, serving businesswomen across South Wales. The group provides a structured platform for female entrepreneurs and business professionals to build meaningful connections, exchange referrals, and access practical business support within their local community.
Members gather monthly on the first Wednesday for a carefully organised two-hour session that balances formal networking with informal relationship-building. The format includes dedicated time for introductions, shared lunches, guest speakers, and one-to-one meetings—ensuring attendees can maximise both breadth and depth of connections. This thoughtful structure differentiates JIGSAW from casual networking events, creating genuine opportunities for business development rather than superficial mingling.
What sets JIGSAW apart is their commitment to affordability. Operating as a not-for-profit, they've deliberately kept membership fees low—£50 annually with £20 per meeting—making professional networking accessible to women who might otherwise find traditional business groups prohibitively expensive. They also welcome newcomers with a low-risk trial option: prospective members can attend up to two meetings at £27.50 each before committing to membership.
The organisation fills a specific gap for South Wales businesswomen seeking peer support, practical advice, and local referrals in an inclusive, cost-conscious environment. Their active social media presence and regular events demonstrate a genuinely engaged community rather than a transactional membership scheme.
