Queen Bee & Co Reviews

Just back from Debbie’s “My Greek Retreat” in Corfu and I must say I had the most amazing time. The venue was amazing, the ladies were fabulous and interspersed with some fun and lots of laughter we actually spent time working “on” our businesses, not “in” our businesses. I came away with clarity on my next steps going forward and a decisive plan. The food was wonderful and we were very well looked after. We even had a photographer to take some individual publicity shots of us. I can highly recommend this as a way of resetting and getting a grip on where you want your business to be heading and how you are going to achieve it. My only worry is that if too many people realise how wonderful it is - there will be no spaces left for me next year ! Thank you Debbie at Queen Bee & Co - you are a star ⭐

I went on Debbie’s business retreat to Corfu and had such an amazing time. It was the perfect mix of business and pleasure and the attention to detail and little treats we received every day were such a lovely touch! I loved the mix of learning every morning, a delicious lunch in our villa, free time in the afternoon and evening meals were either in the villa or out in the local town (as well as a trip into Corfu town an hour away). Combined with yoga sessions, reiki on the beach and a session with a professional stylist Debbie had thought of everything. We also had a professional photo shoot at the villa which was a lovely unexpected touch. Having space and time to work on my business on the retreat really did help me solidify the direction I want to take the business over the next few months. Being together with so many other inspiring female business owners, who were so encouraging and supportive, really helped me get my mojo back and I’m so excited for what’s to come in my business over the next few months! Everybody felt completely at ease with each other too - thanks to the environment Debbie had created - even though many of us were strangers when we arrived we definitely left as friends. We laughed and we cried together and it’s amazing what can happen with your mindset in 5 days when talented ladies are brought together. A huge thank you Debbie for making the retreat what it was!

We had the pleasure of working with Debbie from Queen Bee & Co for our Octopus Computers Tech Conference 2026, which welcomed 70 attendees at The Barnsdale in Rutland. Having organised the conference myself over several months, I wanted someone reliable and experienced to support us with registration and on-the-day logistics, and Debbie was absolutely fantastic! Debbie was professional, friendly, organised and incredibly helpful throughout the day. She made sure our guests were welcomed, registration ran smoothly and everything behind the scenes was taken care of, allowing me to focus on the conference itself. Having that extra support made such a difference, especially during a busy event with multiple speakers, sponsors and attendees. Debbie was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Queen Bee & Co to anyone looking for professional, friendly and reliable event support. Thank you again Debbie! 🐙💙

Exceptional service and business support I should have written this review ages ago...sorry! Fantastic company from start to finish. Deborah and her husband are doing great, great things, especially for small businesses. Do reach out to them and attend their networking events and also reach out for business support too when needed. I can't think of anything negative to say about them and this is a testament to the great work they do.

I had a lovely time at In the Hive networking event at the White Hart Hotel last Tuesday! Debbie created such a warm, welcoming and supportive atmosphere that made it easy to connect with some truly inspiring local businesswomen. It was great to hear everyone introduce themselves and share the passion behind their businesses. There was a real sense of encouragement and community rather than competition, which made the morning feel both uplifting and energising. Thank you, Debbie, for bringing together such a wonderful group of women. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Debbie is a real organiser with a true passion for bringing women together. She has such a natural ability to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where women can connect, support one another, and genuinely learn from each other’s experiences. I had the great pleasure of attending one of her events and it was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The energy in the room was incredibly positive, inspiring, and uplifting. You could really feel the sense of community and encouragement that Debbie creates so effortlessly. What impressed me most was how authentic and supportive the whole experience felt — not just networking for the sake of networking, but real conversations, real inspiration, and real connections. I would highly recommend Debbie’s events to any woman looking to grow, connect, and surround herself with positive and driven people.

I recently joined in with the Women's World Weekender Event and it was a really excellent weekend. The speakers were all great and lovely people, each with really interesting talks. The food was also excellent and speaking for myself, I was very comfortable. I did enjoy a boogie - haven't done that in a while!! You have a wonderful knack of making every person feel welcome and seen! So thank you. Teresa Brill Teresa Brill Jewellery Ltd

Our Employment and Corporate Law team thoroughly enjoyed exhibiting at the Big Business Event at The Meres. The event was extremely well organised, with a great atmosphere and excellent networking opportunities throughout the day. It was fantastic to connect with so many local businesses and showcase how we support employers and businesses with practical legal advice. Thank you to the organisers for putting together such a successful event. We look forward to attending again.

I am now the proud owner of a brand new website thanks to Debbie & Tom. They both organised absolutely everything for me from arranging for a photographer to take new shots, arranging the location, helping me write the content and built it all super fast! I am absolutely over the moon that they have captured the essence of who I am and what my business is all about. I would highly recommend using Queen Bee & Co.

If you’ve never been to an In The Hive networking event, you’re missing out! These events are relaxed, focussed and full of people who genuinely want to help each other. There are no stuffy suits, no awkward conversations and you’ll never feel like you’re being sold to. You’ll meet friendly, like-minded business owners who are likely to become friends very quickly - and Debbie will be the first! She’s so warm and welcoming you’ll wish you came sooner. I couldn’t recommend these events enough. Nicola Auckland Nicola Auckland Photography

Thank you Queen Bee & Co for delivering such an outstanding workshop on business networking. Debbie is a highly experienced, warm, and charismatic facilitator who immediately created a safe and welcoming environment where everyone felt genuinely seen, heard, and valued. The session was engaging, practical, and expertly delivered. Our participants left with clear tools and simple exercises they could use straight away for networking, interviews, and professional introductions. Debbie’s approach was empowering and confidence-building, while remaining thoughtful and respectful of each individual’s background and experience. The feedback from the group was overwhelmingly positive. Many shared how supported they felt and how much clearer and more confident they now feel about presenting themselves. A truly impactful workshop combining professionalism, empathy, and real-world value. Highly recommended.

I attended Debbie's recent networking event in Lincoln. It was a lovely dose of positivity & a timely reminder of the brilliance of women! Debbie is a very gifted communicator and manages to make everyone feel valued & welcome. An excellent range of businesses represented, superb upmarket venue and a well managed uplifting and valuable event.
