JOIN US FOR STRATEGIC GROWTH POWERED BY COMMUNITY

Get support in 2026

Chromia Collective is a community that is both commerical and nurturing. Led by Rachel Ray, a business strategist who scaled her own business from zero to nationwide and achieved a seven figure exit. She knows exactly what it takes to grow a large successful business while maintaining your well-being and work-life balance.

Every month you’ll get a chance to step back from busy-ness and get strategic about your business so that your goals, your brand and your activities are aligned.

You will also enjoy roundtable conversations designed to spark referrals, collaboration and real support. Plus connect in-person over delicious San Carlo brunch in a relaxed Cheshire setting

This is more than “networking” it’s a BusinesS Strategy Brunch, a supportive space for strategy, reflection, action and community.

Whether you’ve struggled with clarity, consistency or confidence, this event gives you structure and warmth.
