Coventry University Ways of Working Event

Organiser

Coventry University invites you to its first in a series of three Ways of Working events at Coventry University Technology Park on Tuesday 30th January. The other two events will be held in Scarborough and London later this year.

Discover what support Coventry University offers to small businesses and how the University works with organisations of all sizes. Guest speakers from local businesses will be giving an overview of the forthcoming General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) legislation that will affect all sectors and the Patent Box initiative that enables companies to apply a lower rate of Corporation Tax to profits earned after 1 April 2013 from their patented inventions.

There will be interactive exercises aimed at enabling delegates to identify ways their own businesses could benefit from the University's services along with an exclusive insight into how delegates’ organisations could work with the Value Proposition model, involving a collective working session.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients.

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information. It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers. We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events. When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
