The professionalism and fun that Karen brings to each event is impressive. Over the years I have attended many networks and The Business Network is by far and away the best! The clients we have gained through this group have been quality clients who have remained with us.
The Business Network Central and East Lancs is the premier event on the monthly business calendar. Karen is a fabulous host, who helps with introductions and connections; she is an experienced, successful business woman, who offers insights into making the right connections. I have come to appreciate her help and support during my time with The Business Network.� Nick Brookes, Cornfields
