Let’s celebrate the power of women in business this International Women’s Day! Coffer and Hutch is thrilled to celebrate International Women’s Day by offering a unique opportunity to 20 women entrepreneurs in our community. We’re inviting these incredible entrepreneurs to enjoy a free professional photo shoot in our inspiring and welcoming space.

How We’re Celebrating

Photo shoots will be taking place at our beautiful Coffer and Hutch on International Women’s Day – Saturday March 8, 2025 located at 197 Erie Ave in Brantford.
