Platform505is an international, online journal, offering inspiration, thought and encouraging discussion for “The Thinking Woman”. UK-based, the website provides a platform for women to stay in touch with current affairs and issues of the day, express opinions and satisfy cultural and intellectual curiosity.

History
Platform505platform505.com was launched in June 2012. The site represents and engages mature women, the fastest growing and most influential demographic. It is run by a trio of friends in East Anglia, UK, who were brought together by a shared aspiration to create a hub for intelligent online content,

Vision
Imagine sitting at dinner with friends, sharing and discussing topics from cultural to political, from personal to intellectual, from national to international… this is what founders, Nina Finbow, Lizi McCarroll and Tamsin Anderson have taken as their vision for online content.

The website engages a team of contributors from the UK and overseas, both male and female. Some are professional writers, some are amateurs who have discovered a hidden talent for writing, and have something to say. Many find that contributing to Platform505 allows them to work flexibly and develop their writing skills. New writers are encouraged to take part.

“Today’s woman is seeking a place where she can be engaged and informed, where she can voice her opinions, share experiences, find emotional support and feel part of a community. This is what we offer with Platform505” says Founder and Managing Director, Nina Finbow.
