Claire Bicknell and Sally Hurst
Catena Network has appointed a new director to run the organisation across Lincolnshire.
Sally Hurst, the owner of Skegness-based Energy Matters, will continue to manage Embracing Skegness, the networking arm of the Skegness Area Business Chamber alongside her new role.
She said: “Skegness has been my home for 14 years and I value this wonderful county which is packed full of history, great local produce, culture, scenery and coastline, and of course, it’s wonderful people!
“Most of my working life has been in international sales and customer service. I got a real buzz out of building a rapport with customers using my languages of German and French. After attending many different networking groups, I discovered Catena which reflects the values I hold for my own networking with Embracing Skegness (including an awareness of pastoral and welfare issues), so working with both organisations will allow me to engage and connect with businesses on a regional scale.”
Catena Network founder Claire Bicknell said : “When I first met Sally, I was struck by the passion she had for her local area and the business community and as I became aware of her ability to see the value in connecting like-minded business people, I had no hesitation in welcoming her as one of Catena’s Regional Directors What we are all trying to achieve with the Network is the ability for businesses to grow relationships with each other, developing trust to the point they feel confident to do business together or recommend to others.”
