Founder of Wiltshire-based PinkBox Boutique, Kerry Gover, has been announced as the second keynote speaker for this year's Women in Business Conference, to be held on Wednesday 8th March at Bowood Resort.

Kerry set up independent gift retailer PinkBox Boutique in her spare room in 2013. Her smart approach to business has seen sales boom, and this year see the company’s first shop concessions are opening nationwide.

Kerry will talk about the key challenges she faced building her business - both internal and external - and how she managed to overcome them.

“We’re delighted to be showcasing so much local talent and success” said Jolyon Rose, conference coordinator. “Our speakers are bound to inspire.”
