I just wanted to thank Maria Cook. It was very useful to sit and talk about the strategy for Oxygym and its future direction. I look forward to more workshops in the future with BEC.

Thanks Julie-Anne,
It was great to meet with you today and get your advice. I wasn't sure that I had an idea worth pursuing so you have given me confidence to continue with my idea. I will look into all the information you have given me and possibly be back for some more advice.
