The Club Hub Podcast Season 1 – The Children’s Activities Industry

Published on 30th July 2021 by Tessa Robinson

I am so excited to announce the launch of the Club Hub Podcast. I have always wanted to launch my own podcast to raise more awareness for the Children’s Activities Industry. Letting parents and carers know what goes on behind the scenes, the amount of passion and energy these activity providers put in to their businesses.

Thank you so much to Cerys Keneally for being the first sponsor of the Club Hub Podcast. Cerys Keneally helps children’s activity & service providers to approach schools & nurseries without cold calling, so they can grow their business with confidence and have a bigger impact on children’s lives. You can get in touch with Cerys via her website – www.ceryskeneally.com/
