St Johnstone Business Club & Perthshire Businesswoman's Network Evening

A joint networking evening celebrating National Women’s Small Business Month at McDiarmid Park.

To celebrate National Women’s Small Business Month, St Johnstone Business Club and Perthshire Businesswomen’s Network are coming together for a special evening of networking, conversation and shared experience.

At the heart of the evening will be a panel bringing together representatives from PBN, St Johnstone Business Club and St Johnstone Women’s Football Team, offering different perspectives from across business and sport.

Joining the panel from St Johnstone Women will be Head Coach Josh Henderson and Captain Hannah Clark, with further panel members to be confirmed.

The conversation will explore topics including teamwork, leadership, building strong relationships, overcoming challenges and the experiences that shape us both professionally and personally. Rather than a formal presentation, we want it to be an open and relaxed discussion, with plenty of opportunity for the audience to ask questions and hear how each panel member approaches things from their own experience and point of view.

There will also be time to meet and connect with other local businesses and professionals throughout the evening, with light refreshments provided.

Whether you're already part of the Saints Business Club or PBN, or simply want to make new connections and hear from some brilliant people across business and sport, we'd love to have you join us.

  • Lead sponsor remarks from SSE, on leading the energy transition from Perth

  • Keynote from Susan Campbell, Scottish National Investment Bank

  • Interactive panel discussions with business leaders and partners

  • Facilitated roundtable discussions

  • Networking lunch

  • Eco Village

What will be explored

  • The opportunities and challenges facing local businesses

  • Creating the conditions for sustainable business growth

  • Developing the workforce businesses need for the future

  • The role of investment, innovation and partnership

  • Practical actions to shape future priorities for Perth and Kinross

Who it is for

Business owners, employers, investors, education providers and partner organisations. Whatever stage you are at, your voice and experience matter.

Booking

Attendance is free, but places are limited, and advance registration is essential. You will be asked for your organisation, job title and any dietary or accessibility requirements when you book. Please note that photography and filming will take place on the day and may be used in future communications by Perth and Kinross Council and event partners. If your plans change, do cancel your place so someone on the waiting list can take it.

In this session, we’ll unpack 7 Pillars designed to protect the person, the business, and our wider community. Whether you are just starting or looking to scale, this talk provides a practical framework to move your business from "fragile" to "robust".

Boss Ladies Series: PBN visit to Stravaig Space Ltd

Boss Ladies: Behind The Scenes at Stravaig Space Ltd

Our series, Boss Ladies: Behind the Scenes, celebrates the power of women coming together to share their stories, expertise, and everyday magic.

Each month, one member opens the doors to her workplace, offering:

  • A behind-the-scenes look at her business

  • Insight into her day-to-day world

  • Honest conversation about the highs, challenges, and lessons learned

  • Opportunities for deeper connection and collaboration

This month, we’re stepping into a calming and restorative environment at Stravaig Space — with an exclusive tour and podcast studio taster session.

🎙 What to Expect

  • A guided tour of Stravaig Space

  • A chance to experience the dedicated podcast studio

  • A relaxed taster session to explore how podcasting could amplify your voice and brand

  • Meaningful networking in a supportive, inspiring setting

Lots of free parking and car share available - just drop us an email and we can help.

If you’ve ever wondered what a day in the life of your fellow members looks like, this series is your chance to discover it — and perhaps share your own story in return.

Whether you lead a busy office, run a creative studio, manage a retail space, or work in an entirely different setting, we’d love to spotlight your world next.
