To celebrate this expansion, the Leamington Leap group will officially launch on Thursday 29 January 2026, from 10am–12noon, at the stunning Mallory Court Hotel & Spa in Leamington Spa.

Tickets are available now via Eventbrite.

Early bird costs £25 (until 1 December - using code EarlyBird) and standard tickets cost £35.

The Power of Growth and Connection

This milestone marks a significant moment for The Athena Network:South Warwickshire.

As the community continues to flourish, members are experiencing greater opportunities to:

• Collaborate across groups regionally and nationally
• Build trusted referral relationships
• Raise their visibility
• Expand their networks and influence

Holly said: "One of the best things about growing our region is watching the ripple effect it has. Each new group brings fresh energy, new ideas, and even more opportunities for collaboration and support. The more we connect, the stronger we all become - that's the true magic of Athena."

An Invitation to Leap Forward

The launch of Leamington Leap offers a wonderful opportunity for women in business to experience the Athena difference — authentic networking, genuine collaboration, and a community built on support, not competition.

Holly added: "I'd love to see both familiar and new faces at the launch. If you know any brilliant women who are ready to grow their business and build meaningful connections, this is the perfect place to start their Athena journey."

Member Jo Burton said "Joining Athena 3 years ago is the best decision I have ever made for my business. Everything has grown – my sales, referrals, connections, skills, confidence & friendships.

Holly leads this group with love and enthusiasm, and the members are the most generous and supportive group of ladies you could ever hope to meet.  In Athena amazing things happen  - come along and see for yourself."
