In this episode of One Voice for the West, we sit down with Anika Millington, of ConnectHer, Business West’s women-in-business platform created to help women connect, collaborate and champion one another.

Anika shares the story behind ConnectHer, why the platform was created, and how it is helping bring women together through events, conversations, shared experience and practical support. The episode explores the importance of creating spaces where women in business can build confidence, form meaningful relationships, learn from each other and feel part of a wider community.

This conversation also looks at the bigger role ConnectHer plays within Business West, supporting connection across the local business ecosystem and creating opportunities for women to be seen, heard and supported as leaders, business owners, professionals and contributors to West Auckland’s future.

Through Anika’s story, the episode highlights the value of community, collaboration and visibility, and why strong networks can make such a difference for people building businesses, careers and connections in the West.
