Catherine McClen

Founder & CEO at BuddyHub

I started BuddyHub to support older people, feeling lonely due to their health and life situation, to find a new group of friends. But our intergenerational membership communities create local friendships that benefit people of all ages. Our vision is to create a world where anyone can make new friends and no one needs to fear being lonely.

Before founding BuddyHub, I had a 17 year City career then spent six years doing extensive voluntary work with marginalised groups. I become an impact entrepreneur to pursue work with a social purpose and my finance background and other experiences have been incredibly useful in this journey.

Offering: Shadowing and Workshops

Experience: Business Models, Customer Acquisition, Fundraising, Project Management and Investment

Industry: Finance, Banking, Nonprofit, Charity and Social Enteprise

Fun fact: I love football and support Newcastle United.
