Warwickshire Start-up: Masterclass: Empowering Business Growth

Organiser

Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce

This session is aimed at clients that are considering starting a business or those that have been trading less than twelve months.

On this occasion the cost of this workshop is free of charge as this project is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, forming part of the Coventry & Warwickshire Business Support Programme. It is also funded by Warwickshire County Council and the District & Borough Councils.

This Session is suitable for those who have either already registered their business or who have attended the Chamber workshops covering Business Vision Strategy, Winning & Keeping customers and Business Planning.

Empowering Business Growth Workshop 2018 comes with lots of business growth opportunities for business owners out there. Brexit according to some experts might just be one of those opportunities. However, for business owners or new business start-ups to benefit from those opportunities would require preparation and having a sustainable system within their business to enable growth and successful start-ups. Take a look at the list below, do you have these in place?

1. Engaging and productive sales/teams

2. The right business support

3. Leadership and vision strategies

4. A successful digital marketing plan

5. An engaging website

This workshop is about empowering business owners and new business start-ups on how to grow and develop their business regardless of what the business growth is. It could be increasing and boosting sales, importing and exporting, launching into a new market segment, having more sales and boosting the business profitability. At the end of this workshop, you would have been able to improve your business awareness and identify areas you need to focus on to make the best use of the business growth opportunities in 2018.

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.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

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. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

Thank you for the comprehensive and professional guidance

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
