Award winning Jackie Groundsell, known as “The Connector”, because she literally thinks in terms of connections, always knowing someone who can help you move closer to achieving your goals. Her little (pink) black book is crammed with influential people across all walks of life.
With a background in IT training (that’s how it all started) Jackie is recognised as queen of businesswomen’s lunch-time networking, supporting 1000s of small business owners through 1230 The Women’s Company Ltd. Launched August 2002,1230 TWC provides on and off-line trading and business growth opportunities with meetings, training, and events.

Very much a people person, for Jackie, 1230 TWC is a personally inspiring and satisfying business: “Being able to see the synergies and connect businesswomen, to see the “eureka!” moment that 1230 TWC training and networking provides as their businesses grow, is so rewarding; I am exceptionally fortunate to be in a business that I just love.”
Meeting various personal challenges in her own life has given her great empathy with the wonderfully inspiring businesswomen she meets and supports through networking. “I would say my can-do attitude and ability to talk are two of my greatest personal assets. I’m always up for a challenge!” Jackie is available for public speaking, training, and Speed-networking sessions and continues to be constantly inspired by the businesswomen she meets through her networks.
Please note – booking deadline – Tuesday 12 December 2023.
