“Signing up to We Are St. Albans was the best business decision I’ve made all year. All my businesses have received new clients thanks to the local community seeing the beautifully constructed posts the team have shared across their platforms. I’ve used the website directory myself to find new suppliers - after all, we all like to shop local. Katie and Sabine are an amazing team, friendly, approachable and supportive at all times. Can’t recommend this platform highly enough - if you’re a local business, you simply have to be on there!”

Not only was the event really enjoyable, they have managed to create a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere so that by the end of the evening I felt very much a part of an exciting community. I'm throughly looking forward to the next event!"

“Katie and Sabine's We Are Harpenden and We Are St Albans directories have been instrumental in raising awareness of the great services we offer as a business locally. They are genuinely engaged and interested in our business and are invested in helping us grow. I would highly recommend small local businesses joining their network - you won't regret it.

“We love being part of the ‘We Are Community”. Katie and Sabine are on the ball and are so lovely to deal with. They have really brought the local businesses together and helped us all to support one another during the pandemic and we are sure beyond. We wanted to anchor ourselves with the local community as a business, as we have lived in St. Albans for the best part of 18 years and our children go to school here. Being part of "We Are St. Albans" and now part of "We Are Harpenden" has really helped us to do this. We carry out a lot of work in St Albans and Harpenden and it is fantastic to have the support of Katie and Sabine and have that ‘community spirit’ we have been searching for.”

I’m very grateful to Katie and Sabine and the lovely community platform they have created. Thank you so much to you both x.”
