The Athena Network's regional director in Warwickshire is celebrating a major milestone – reaching her 100th active member across her five thriving women's business networking groups in the county.

With more women joining each week, the growth of Athena in Warwickshire is a testament not just to Holly Nixon's unwavering drive but to the strength of the vibrant community she's built, one strategic connection at a time.

The Athena Network is a nationwide community designed to help women in business network effectively and authentically.

Holly said: "Athena has never been about hard selling or stuffy pitches – it's about relationships.

"It's about learning to network with intention, finding your business allies, and showing up consistently for one another. I'm incredibly proud of the women in our network – they lift each other up in every possible way."

More than just swapping business cards, Athena focuses on building long-lasting relationships, strategic connections and equipping members with the skills and confidence to grow their businesses.

Since taking on the Warwickshire region, Holly has grown Athena to five groups, all of which are packed with inspiring, supportive women in business – from personal stylists to financial advisors, designers to coaches – all showing up to support each other personally and professionally.

Franchise founder Jacqueline Rogers shared her praise: "Holly Nixon has officially reached 100 MEMBERS and is now part of The 100 Club!

"This is no small feat – it's a huge accolade and a true testament to Holly's commitment, focus, and belief in the power of The Athena Network

"From the very start of the year, Holly declared her intention to reach 100 members, and she's done it – one connection, one conversation, and one celebration at a time!"

"As a reward for hitting her audacious goal, Holly will be joining Athena HQ in London for a special day of celebration, including a West End show and dinner with fellow Directors.

"But it's not just about the numbers – it's about the impact.

Emma Mascall, a personal stylist and member of the Stratford group, shared: "Holly, well done! You've inspired all of us in business to set bigger goals because you've achieved yours.

"More than that, you've delivered a brilliant membership experience and more to us all.

"What a fantastic achievement – I hope you're telling yourself how proud you are!"

Members meet monthly and also receive training in how to network well – something many women say they've never been taught.

The result is a community of businesswomen who feel connected, confident, and empowered to grow, both personally and professionally.

With five flourishing groups and more on the horizon, Holly's vision of creating a deeply connected, inclusive, and collaborative space for women in business across Warwickshire is well and truly being realised.
