About this networking event

19th November, 2025
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Shakespeare Martineau, Birmingham

She Rocks Business founded in 2024 by Suzanne Leggott – Partner and Head of Private Client at Shakespeare Martineau, and Marie Smith – Associate Partner at Cooper Parry Wealth is a dynamic network for female leaders. It’s a space to connect, learn and share experiences in an open, supportive and inspiring environment. Our events spark honest, thought-provoking conversations and create powerful opportunities to build lasting relationships. 

Our guest speaker is Michelle Mills-Porter who will share her extraordinary account of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history – the Boxing Day tsunami. Through moments both deeply emotional and unexpectedly light, she reveals how in the midst of extreme adversity, people come together, uniting across boundaries, collaborating instinctively, showing profound compassion, and discovering resilience they never knew they possessed.

We’ll discover how her experiences in crisis translate into valuable lessons for business, the boardroom, and family life. An opportunity to be inspired by the magnificence of humanity, to reflect on how unity and empathy can transform challenges into opportunities, and to leave with renewed confidence in your own ability to rise above obstacles.

Expect an open, honest and thought-provoking conversation, plus plenty of time to build relationships, exchange ideas and support each other.

Female (and allies) C-suite, senior directors and executives, business leaders, entrepreneurs – and the next generation of leaders
