Strength in Numbers: Build your business through collaboration

Organiser

There’s never been a more important time to invest in the future of your business by working with people who know your business best! Other business leaders!

Join forces to find your strength in 2021 by attending this FREE online event featuring guest speakers, local businesses and the West Midlands Growth Hubs’ free business programme; Peer Networks.

SMEs in the West Midlands can harness the power of Peer Networks to help them grow their business connections, find new ideas and gain a fresh perspective. On Tuesday 29 June our guest speakers will speak authentically from their experience of growing a business through collaboration.

Collaboration is key - There will always be others who have been through the same challenges and have come out the other side. You can learn from others about how they overcome their issues and strengthen your business connections at the same time.

 

Exclusive Keynote Speaker Announcements:

Piers Linney - Renowned Entrepreneur & Start-up & Scale-up Business Expert

Known to many as one of the shrewdest investors ever to have appeared on the BBC programme Dragon’s Den, world-class businessman, investor and keynote speaker Piers Linney is set to speak at this exclusive event on 29 June.

Originally from Stoke-on-Trent, Piers is a successful entrepreneur with an impressive business portfolio and will offer a unique insight into the topics discussed based on his own experience.

 

Camilla Ainsworth - Keynote Speaker & Business Consultant 

Camilla was just 22 when she appeared on 2018’s 'The Apprentice', narrowly missing out in the final.

Her dairy free drinks brand MYLKPLUS caught the eye of the CEO of Holland & Barrett and she went ahead to launch the grab and go dairy alternative into 645 of their stores, where it continues to sell out and remains in the top UK 10 best-selling drinks on Amazon.

Passionate about business growth, Camilla will share her true grit stories of starting a business and how building a trusted network can help boost your business growth.

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.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas. She was able to put me in contact with different organisations and people to find out answers to my questions and help me to solve some inquiries I was having. I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

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. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

Exeter Analytical (UK) Limited,

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
