42 business women attended the Athena Network Christmas Visitors’ Lunch and 22 of them, new to Athena, discovered that building a business can be enjoyable.
“It was a great meeting and really reflected what Athena is all about. Everyone kept commenting on the positive atmosphere in the room. I made loads of really good contacts for my business” said Jill McLachlan, a Virtual Assistant and member of the Reading Town Centre Athena Group. “The ‘word on the street’ was all about the amazing ‘energy’ in the room, the calibre of the ladies there and the sheer professionalism of how the day was run” said Sylvia Baldock, National Sales Director for Athena.
The Athena Network aims to inspire and support women to connect and to grow their businesses with trust and integrity. Membership includes training in business development skills.
We want to give women the best possible chance to make their businesses grow” explains Juliette Smith, Regional Director for the Athena Network in Reading. “Part of that is finding new customers but a supportive network is one of the key ingredients for success in today’s business world”.
There is a warm welcome for business women who would like to visit the Reading groups. Members are actively being sought in a few key business areas including IT support and physical well-being such as chiropractic and massage.
