The Athena Network Testimonials

“I have attended a number of networking groups over the years and disappointingly they have turned out to be much of a muchness. However, I can honestly say that I absolutely love being part of the Athena network. Yes, it's quite a sweeping statement but I truly do mean it.
The reason for saying this is because, aside from introducing me to new clients and therefore obtaining new, & repeat, business (which was originally my prime objective), I've got so much more out of it than I thought was possible. The referral part of Athena's ethos is invaluable - where else could you get such brilliant personal testimonials?
I've acquired some excellent business contacts with other lady members whom I can partner with or use/refer their services - this is both for my business and for others I know who would benefit from using them. But more importantly, I have discovered a whole host of new friends.
Where else could you get all of this?.......
The meetings are informative, supportive, friendly, fun, confidence boosting and extremely inspirational. I have gained valuable personal and business training & development through a range of workshops and training days organised by various members and is unlike other networking groups I have tried. Need I say more?” Lesley Blume, Casa Interiors, www.casa-interiors.co.uk

“The Stoke Poges Athena meetings are always a welcome highlight of my month. I always take something away from the meeting whether it’s a great networking tip from the ever versatile Poonam Kanwar or some new perspective on how to get the best out of my business. The meeting environment is structured, but friendly and extremely supportive to it’s members and visitors. It’s always a delight to work with women networkers and Athena have some of the best.” Susan O’Loughlin, Cornerstone Wills, www.cornerstonewills.co.uk

“I have been with Athena Burnham since it’s launch over a year ago and look forward to it each and every month. The meetings have enabled me to develop and grow in confidence within a professional, secure and friendly atmosphere. I am constantly learning more about the regular members and visitors businesses, which helps me to find contacts for them. This in turn also helps me to know how my Utility Warehouse services can best help them and their friends.
Thank you for being there for me every step of my way to greater success.” Sue Wilson, The Utility Warehouse Discount Club, www.YourMoney247.co.uk
