Biscuiteers Become Founding Members of Buy Women Built

Here at Biscuiteers, we’re proud to be a female led business where 80% of our amazing workforce are women.

That’s why we’re thrilled our founder and Chief Biscuiteer, Harriet Hastings, is a founding member of Buy Women Built, a community of like minded, female led companies and entrepreneurs.
What is Buy Women Built?
In a landscape where only 3% of funded British businesses are female founded, Buy Women Built is striving to shine a light on women built brands.

Creating a more even playing field in the marketplace by mobilising and encouraging consumers to support and buy from the fantastic female founded businesses of Britain.

As stated in the tweet that kickstarted the Buy Women Built network “Not everyone can invest in female founders. Not everyone can mentor female founders, but we can all buy from them.”

By making women built brands more visible, not only does this create an environment where these brands can display their dominance and importance to our economy. It also means the younger generation can see women taking up space, which hopefully inspires them to dream big and become entrepreneurs themselves.
What does being a founding member mean for Biscuiteers?
I am so pleased to be part of the BWB movement – a really important initiative to shine the light on all the brilliant brands created by women and though the kitemark initiative give practical ways to support female entrepreneurs as they grow
