Andrea Kernohan was in business for 17 years before joining Enterprising Women and hasn't looked back

A business owner in Co Antrim has spoken of the personal and professional boost she's noticed since joining a local female business network. Andrea Kernohan started her female gym BeFIT Personal Training in Larne in 2006 on a mission to empower women to discover their healthiest and happiest selves through exercise.

Speaking to Belfast Live, Andrea said: "Being involved in Enterprising Women helps me get my business out there a lot more and helps me with things I'm struggling with in business. It's great to have that community of people you can reach out to if you need a wee bit of help. "My skills and confidence have improved, particularly through insightful workshops on photography, and participating in enriching events like the International Women's Day event in conjunction with Donegal Women in Business.

She added: "It has been a great way to meet friends. I've met so many people that live in the local area, being involved makes you want to use their businesses more and vice versa. A sizeable portion of 36% boast a more seasoned presence in the business landscape, operating for 13 to 14 years. This rich mix of businesses reflects the dynamic entrepreneurial spirit thriving in the area.
