I have found the Athena Network a great forum for business women. The monthly meetings are convivial, well organised and structured, the presentations informative and extremely helpful to the running of my business. I know that meetings will be attended by forward thinking, intelligent women who not only offer support and advice but also the opportunity to do business and I look forward to continuing the development of strong relationships within the Network. Athena provides a salubrious atmosphere which encourages business networking. Joanne Gordon, Director, Elite Office Assistant On-line Administration Services

The Athena Network

As a new business woman I had been advised to join a networking group as a way to meet other business people and gain valuable experience, but the groups that I had heard of met very early in the morning and sounded like very pressurised environments and a bit intimidating. I was invited to attend a lunchtime Athena networking meeting as a guest and, although filled with trepidation, the fact that it was a womenʼs group encouraged me to take the plunge and Iʼm so glad I did. Rachel manages to combine professionalism with a really friendly approach. The women who attend come from a wide range of business and personal backgrounds and everyone is tremendously supportive and interested in what you do. The meetings provide a stimulating environment and the opportunity to network with very interesting women who bring a huge range of skills to the table. Since attending I have grown in confidence and I would strongly recommend any woman, but particularly those who are in business on their own, to try the Athena experience- you wonʼt be disappointed. Thanks Rachel.
