Can we give your business a helping hand?

Cumbria Business Growth Hub has been given funding from Allerdale Borough Council and Copeland Borough Council to deliver a business support programme through UKSPF (Shared Prosperity Funding).

There’s a great range of new support programmes on offer, many not currently available in Cumbria.

Our first new programme is High Performance FLOW –  an exciting, inspirational, and highly practical programme that enables hard working business leaders to breakthrough to their next level of growth and performance.

Structured around the High Performance FLOW Framework, a series of four interactive and high energy workshops that provide you with the proven tools and techniques required to breakthrough to your next level of growth and performance.

  • 26 April: High Performance You: becoming the best version of yourself (guest speaker: Gary McKee who ran 365 marathons in 365 days raising over £1 million for Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home)
  • 10 May: High Performance Teams: developing high performance in others (guest speaker: Roger Smith MD, Thomas Graham)
  • 24 May: High Performance Business: embedding performance culture & business models
  • 7 June: High Performance Plan: creating a plan that everyone is energised about delivering (guest speaker: Paul Simpson, Carlisle United Manager,)

All workshops are held between 9:30 am and 4pm at Energus, Workington, CA14 4JW (lunch and refreshments provided) – you need to be able to commit to all four sessions with only 5 places remaining.
