Heels & Deals, the Dubai based global networking company for female entrepreneurs, has recently launched a dedicated online TV channel, to further enhance the already well-established online community.

The company, who has just celebrated its first year anniversary, partnered with Middle East based H20 New Media to enable like-minded successfully driven women to have easy access to each other’s skills, talents, knowledge and resources. Catering primarily for women who own a business, are self-employed or who dream of starting up their own venture, the community helps its members to achieve their professional and personal objectives and ultimately to do deals through connecting and supporting each other.

The on and offline community gives access to a members-only discussion board and enables members to help and mentor each other as well as enjoy discounts on training courses and seminars.

“We wanted to deliver an online community and TV channel that gives real value to women entrepreneurs throughout the UAE and beyond. H20 New Media, the UAE based social media consultancy, brought this vision alive and has enabled us to really engage with our members, partners and the female community at large. The online community www.heelsanddeals.org perfectly complements our offline community that organises monthly networking events with expert speakers and advisors.” Claire Fenner and Georgie Hearson, founders of Heels & Deals and Dubai-based female business owners themselves.

“I knew on first meeting Claire and Georgie that the community was a fantastic opportunity to support women business owners in the UAE and those setting-up in the region. The addition of Heels & Deals now positions H20 as operating more than 30 social community platforms in the Middle East. Moreover, it fits in with our plan to use social community applications that actually benefit the local community. I am delighted that Claire and Georgie chose us as their partners on this project and it’s great to see the level of support that Heals & Deals members have given each other during these turbulent economic times.” Steve Vaile, CEO, H20 New Media.
