Every business needs a boost of inspiration once in a while to stay ahead of the game and there’s none better than the Growth Hub to improve your prospects. It’s what we do best – working with businesses to inspire and help them find the right solutions to develop and grow.

Sometimes you’re bursting with ideas on how to take your business forward but at other times inspiration is at a low ebb. This could be due to day to day work pressures or simply because you don’t have the time and space to think. No business can afford to stand still, so if you think you’ve run out of steam, now’s the time to engage with people who can inspire you.

So you’ve come to the right place if you want to re-energise your business.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein.

One call to the Growth Hub could transform and re-energise your business, giving you the confidence to improve productivity and competitiveness and take it in new and more profitable directions.

You can start with attending one of our many events led by inspiring business speakers. Or take part in one of our workshops – the ideal opportunity to take a bit of time away from the business to discuss and share new ideas with specialist trainers, fellow participants and other business owners.

Better still, we can put you in touch with one of our specialist advisers to provide 1-2-1 expertise on a whole range of business matters, including business strategy, performance improvement and marketing. An outside perspective is sometimes all you need to bring some fresh thinking on ways to develop and grow your business.

“The best thing about the Growth Hub’s start-up programme is the one to one support.  My adviser has been inspirational and has helped boost my confidence and provide reassurance that I was on the right track”. Becka Spence, Print & Pattern Upholstery.
