Women in Enterprise Launches 2025–26 Events Calendar
A new series of empowering events for women in Gibraltar’s business community
The GFSB’s Women in Enterprise (WIE) group has announced its new calendar of events for 2025–26, offering a bold and practical programme aimed at supporting women across all sectors of Gibraltar’s business community.
Delivered in partnership with Isolas LLP, the six-part series includes a mix of professional development workshops and community gatherings, all designed to hold space for women in business and leadership.
From managing energy and time without burnout, to building resilience and navigating difficult conversations, the line-up reflects WIE’s ongoing mission: to champion equality, reduce bias, and create inclusive spaces for every woman in the world of work.
A network with deep roots and a modern mission
Originally founded in the 1990s by Lydia Darham and Dr Diane Sloma, Women in Enterprise (formerly Women in Business) has evolved alongside the business landscape it serves. In 2019, the network joined forces with the GFSB to strengthen its reach and impact. Today, it remains a vibrant part of the Federation, committed to supporting women at every stage of their business journey.
WIE welcomes women from all industries, backgrounds and experiences. The network recognises that gender is not binary and embraces the power of difference and diversity. Its sessions create a safe, honest, and respectful space to share and learn.

- 25 November 2025: Time and Energy Management – aligning priorities without burnout
- 27 January 2026: Negotiation Skills and Knowing Your Worth

Your Customs Playbook
Following the publication of HMGoG’s guidance on NIF and EORI registration requirements, the GFSB has produced a practical step-by-step playbook to help Gibraltar businesses navigate the process as clearly and confidently as possible. Over recent weeks, many members have contacted us with questions around whether they need a NIF or EORI number, what the process involves, and whether obtaining these registrations could create Spanish tax obligations.

NIF & EORI Guidance
After weeks of questions, confusion and growing concern amongst Gibraltar businesses, HM Government has now published formal guidance on NIF and EORI registration requirements linked to the future customs arrangements under the treaty. This is the clearest explanation yet of what these registrations are, who actually needs them, and perhaps most importantly, what they do not mean.
Gibraltar may be entering a different phase of its development. The expected implementation of the UK-EU Treaty, together with anticipated changes to Gibraltar’s residency rules, could alter the profile of people looking at Gibraltar as a base. If financial thresholds rise, Gibraltar may attract fewer casual applicants and a more concentrated group of internationally mobile, high-value residents. That could include the ultra high net worth market.
Member Q&A
Meet Spirit of the Rock
This week’s ThriveEDIT member Q&A spotlights Gin on the Rock Ltd, trading as Spirit of the Rock, a micro distillery based in the heart of Gibraltar’s old town, producing world-class spirits and hosting the Gibraltar Gin Experience. With a focus on authenticity, sustainability and products actually made in Gibraltar, this is a business that brings together local craft, visitor experience and plenty of personality.

As we approach the expected provisional application of the Treaty on 15 July 2026, one of the unresolved questions is: what happens to the businesses, entrepreneurs and economically active individuals who want to relocate here but cannot yet see a clear route through the residency system?
