“Belonging to Athena has been tremendous for me. I have now been a member for 2 years and it continues to inspire, challenge and motivate me.
Through Athena I have become part of a supportive and dynamic business community, developed strategic partnerships with other members, identified a range of suppliers who I work with, and of course most importantly of all I’ve grown my business significantly.
I have developed marketing campaigns for a number of members, and through Athena I established a connection with a member who is now a significant ongoing client, earning me thousands of pounds over the last 18 months.
I’ve been challenged and stimulated at the Regional and National Athena Conferences and of course enjoyed turkey dinner and entertainment at the fabulous Christmas lunches!
My friends and family laugh when they ask me about a new contact I’ve made, or someone else I’m raving about “Of course I know her from Athena” they hear time and again.
My Athena journey has been amazing and I can’t wait for the next chapter.”
Caroline Walker,
Unleash Marketing and Tring Athena member
