November Edinburgh Networking Breakfast – Kylie Reid – egg

Seven years ago, Kylie set up a Facebook group in Edinburgh where women could swap tips and recommendations for local businesses and restaurants. When she moved to Edinburgh from Glasgow, she was a new mum in a new city, and feeling a little lost. Wanting to get great local recommendations for things such as haircuts, good meals and kid-friendly activities, she set up the EGG Facebook page.  After the group flourished through word of mouth, Kylie quit her job as a global sales manager to develop it into a successful business and a thriving community.

“Once upon a time we were known as ‘Edinburgh Gossip Girls’ but times have changed – we’ve evolved and we’ve grown up. We are ‘egg’ – no capitals! And no, it’s not an acronym or abbreviation for anything else because we’re in more cities than just Edinburgh now, we’re Scotland wide. We have supported thousands of women led businesses, creating unique opportunities to support their growth.

 

egg co-working was born from a desire to create a space where we can ignite conversations, encourage collaborations, empower and celebrate, it has been lovingly restored to offer private offices, hot desks, a meeting room, podcast studio, kitchen and bathrooms. Good vibes, great chat and even better coffee, a glorious roastery in the heart of the space.”
