Meet Kate Cherry

After a 15-year career in the financial sector, I have run networking groups in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire for a number of years after shifting my focus from corporate life to my own business success and my family.

I LOVE being a connector and introducer for those looking for each other’s services and building networking confidence in others. Personal development and connecting with like-minded people were key to my success in my businesses.

We are the average of the 5 people we spend most time with and as one of my members says “Athena ups your average”!

One of my favourite quotes, from Henry Ford, is “Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can’t, you’re right” and I actively help fellow entrepreneurs to appreciate that they already have in them what they need to succeed and that what has happened previously is not what matters, but what they choose to do now.

Everyone is entitled to greatness, and everyone has something of value to share.

GROUP INFORMATION

I manage two territories of the Athena Network: Bedfordshire  and the AL Postcodes (St Albans).

I launched the Bedfordshire region in early 2017, and St Albans in early 2020.

They are popular, dynamic and vibrant groups where you can be assured of excellent business connections, to meet local business women and step out of the isolation so many female entrepreneurs can feel.

All of the members pride themselves on the strategic connections that they have created, collaborating with each other to create new projects and services.

Bedford meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 12 – 2pm (excluding August & December)

St Albans South meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month from 12 – 2pm (excluding August & December)

St Albans North meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 12 – 2pm (excluding August & December)

Woburn meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month from 12 – 2pm (excluding August & December)

South & East Beds meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month from 12 – 2pm (excluding August & December)

Check out the group meetings to find details of our current members and their professions.

Call me, Kate Cherry on 07909 675 333 to find out how you can visit and then join our group.

“Athena has enabled me to connect with so many other wonderful women that I would otherwise never have had the opportunity to meet. Through these women I have learnt, been inspired and supported, met other people and gained work. If you haven’t tried Athena before then you don’t know what you’re missing.”

“I am still a fairly new member to Athena and enjoy the support Athena provides through women all wanting to help each other succeed.“

“One of my best business decisions has been joining my local Athena group. It seemed a little daunting at first, but I quickly settled in as all the ladies are incredibly supportive. I look forward to our monthly meetings, seeing everyones’ friendly faces and listening to the presentations of the month. It feels more than just networking; its meeting up with some friends, having a giggle, supporting each other….all very important when you run your own little business and are often at home, working by yourself. Wholeheartedly recommend Athena!”

“Athena was immensely useful when I started with a new business and it still is in so many ways. As a women’s magazine there is a natural synergy as we can connect with many great female run businesses in one organisation. The members provide us with content and also advertising revenue, but even more important is the way everyone supports each other and are great ambassadors for each other’s business.”
