What better way to build connections and strengthen your network in the region? Also, during June and July, female business owners and executives from Bedfordshire and beyond will be meeting at Athena Network meetings in Salford, Wyboston and Luton. The Athena Network runs structured lunchtime meetings with support, training and connection, providing you with the launch pad to grow your business. Athena is the leading business development and networking club for female business owners and executives. Face to face networking remains a powerful way to grow your business, perhaps surprisingly in the age of smartphones and social media. For freelancers and small business owners, it’s a great way of meeting other local businesses, doing business or looking for potential alliances, which often lead to business diversification and growth.
