As a business owner or director, all too often you live and breathe your work, but we firmly believe that shouldn’t be at the expense of enjoying yourself. Opendoorz is about creating a supportive, ambitious network for you and your business, one that challenges and drives you but also ensures that you don’t miss out on the fun and we’re pretty good at making sure you’ve got a glass in your hand as well.
Founders Cathy Dunbabin and Sonia Kearns were friends first. With much in common, including a wealth of business and networking experience they recognised the networking arena was changing, with professionals becoming increasingly time poor, and frustrated with the poor return from larger, more traditional networking events.
They realised this was the ideal opportunity to create a professional networking membership group with a difference. And so, in January 2011, Sonia and Cathy launched the first Opendoorz group in central Oxford.
