Delivered by the Hillingdon Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the London Borough of Hillingdon, the programme has already made a significant impact - supporting over 300 local businesses, with 200 completing the full programme. As the first initiative of its kind in the borough, GROWTH Hillingdon has proved to be an essential support hub for ambitious local entrepreneurs.

The Impact So Far

The GROWTH Hillingdon programme continues to make a lasting impact across the borough, helping local businesses strengthen operations, explore sustainability, and unlock new growth opportunities. Many participants have developed green business plans, discovered new sales channels, and secured valuable contracts.

Others have formed partnerships with local universities to bring in student talent, boosting innovation and capacity. Businesses have reported improved products and services, better financial performance, and stronger strategic thinking.

The programme has also been a launchpad for recognition, with several participants going on to win prestigious business awards and feature at major events like the Hillingdon Business Expo.

From Surviving to Thriving

Beyond numbers, participants describe a powerful mindset shift—from “just getting through the week” to thinking and acting strategically. With tools like goal-setting frameworks and mentoring support, they’re now:

• Delegating more confidently

• Carving out time for high-impact planning

• Gaining control over their calendars

• Building long-term resilience

Hovig from TAG Drinks in Eastcote shared:

"The programme helped me structure, prioritise my time, prioritise my tasks and actually grow the business rather than just get through the week."
