Along with Simon Cripps and Catherine Garrad from the Purley BID, I recently visited The Kind Vibe, a new business community hub for women run by Anne-Marie.
Located on Pampisford Road, near the junction of Purley Way and Russell Hill Road, Anne-Marie as created a beautiful, inviting lounge: an oasis of calm in the middle of Purley.
She set it up because she felt networking had changed, and that there was a gap for more meaningful connection, where people matter. It's designed as a space to co-work, create and collaborate.
Her GROW programme is a six-week experience for up to six women, giving time for better conversation and the chance to meet like-minded business owners. The lounge also offers co-working space and is available for private hire.
It was great to see something new open in Purley. Anne-Marie is keen to reach out to women in our community, particularly those with start-ups and who work from home so if you'd like to find out more, visit the website or email her at [email protected].
