“I've been part of the Awaken Business Club since starting my business. The support, encouragement and expertise of Bev and the other group members has really been invaluable to help me grow my business.

The ethos of the group creates a, safe space to share the ups and downs of business life and allows me to find a way forward by drawing on the knowledge and expertise of both Beverley and others in the group.

I highly recommend this group to anyone who is looking for support as a start-up and growing business.”

Awaken is so much more than a business club ... Bev has a genuine desire to support and encourage it’s members. Her values and the ethos she has instilled, underpin every interaction amongst the Awaken business community.

Going self-employed and running a small marketing business at 21 years old was a daunting prospect. But the moment I met Bev she made me believe in myself and selflessly helped me build a support network of business professionals and clients. Though my career has changed, Bev continues to be a mentor and a friend, helping me navigate life and business challenges. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to self-develop and professionally develop with confidence.

Bev became my manager in 1995 and from the minute we meet she was a very different kind of manager, rather than criticising she was encouraging and supportive, she saw the goals I wanted to achieve and and started to teach, mentor and encourage me to be able to reach and surpass my goals, these are amazing qualities and encouragement is such an empowering asset.

“Having been a member of the Awaken Business Club for some time now, I have found Bev to be incredibly knowledgeable about many aspects of running a small business. The meetings are a safe space where you can freely discuss your issues as well as celebrate your successes. Bev will always work out a solution to problems and is hugely generous with her time. I always feel inspired and energised after a session.”
