Jo Allen: Finding her people & growing her business at Pink Coral.

When Jo Allen joined Pink Coral in January 2025, she was still figuring out the whole ‘talking about my business’ thing. Running a coaching business is fairly new to her, and like so many of us, she wanted a space where she could get support, bounce ideas around, and just feel a bit less like she was doing it all on her own. A few months in, and she’s already made some amazing connections, landed new opportunities, and well and truly found her people.

Sometimes you need an expert’s touch.

We reached out to fellow Pink Coral member, Gemma to design our new roller banner. She's an amazing designer and it turned out beautifully don't you think? We’re so excited to take it to our upcoming events.

The Community Do The Talking

  • "The Pink Coral Community has been fantastic for me on a social level. I joined the group because I wanted a regular group of women to meet up with, discuss business and just have a good chat! Working on my own can be quite lonely, so it’s lovely being in a group where we can talk, share experiences and gain advice from other women in the same position.”

    Lauren, Untangled Creative

  • "I've been in the Pink Coral Community getting on for a couple of years and it has been a godsend. Working alone at home was starting to take its toll, plus, I didn't have anyone to run ideas by, or ask biz questions. I can do all of that in this community"

    Louise Fowen, Louise Fowen Copywriter

  • “Thank you for creating such an amazing women only community that allows us to share our passion with other local ladies”

    Farrah - ZenStrokes By Farrah

  • “I'm so pleased I invested in your coworking accountability club. I'm really churning out more creativity, being more focussed and really loving spending time on the business, which is something I normally dread”

    Cass - Unwind The Mind Wellness

  • “Honestly it's been game changing for me. As someone with ADHD I need extra accountability otherwise I get lost, so this is really helpful. It’s an amazing community and concept. You’re awesome!”

    Rachel - Fruition For Business

  • “I’ve really enjoyed going to the face to face meetups. It’s lovely to talk to local businesses and get that all important human contact”

    Justine - Berties Photography

  • “Nikki’s Pink Coral Community is my daily dose of female self-employed camaraderie and kick up the backside. We have weekly guided coworking, quiet coworking, reflection sessions and accountability”

    Suzy - Admin Unbound

  • “Thank you for hosting the virtual coworking sessions! It feels like I have colleagues again and I’m feeling more motivated”

    Sophie - Barker Brooks Creative

    Farrah - ZenStrokes By Farrah

  • "I love your virtual co-working sessions. They've been a lifeline for me and I'm not sure I would get anything done without them"

    Louise - Louise Fowen Copywriting

  • "I really love what you're building within the local community and can see it helping so many women. I mean wow, I was not expecting to have 2 potential new clients from a coworking day, but that's the power of having in-person events"

    Gemma -Infinity Creative

  • "Loved Loved Loved your in-person coworking event and can't wait for the next one. Thanks Nikki, it was well worth the 40-min drive"

    Louise - Louise Fowen Copywriting

  • "Working by yourself can be lonely, and I’m the world’s number one procrastinator so having a friendly group of other self-employed people waiting and cheering you on is a lovely thing. There’s no pressure, no telling off, just positive encouragement and support"

    Becky - Words’N’Stuff

  • "Literally just jumped for joy at the guided coworking tomorrow. I have lots of writing to do and you guys are keeping me on track!"

    Sarah - Mission Astro

  • “Nikki is lovely, as are all the other members. It's a safe space to let off steam when we need to, but we're also a team who lift each other up. The IRL sessions are the highlight of my month! I've made so many lovely connections in this community, so I'm here to stay”
