Help To grow:
Management
Anew practical course is now available to entrepreneurs and senior managers of companies with growth aspirations across the Humber and North Lincolnshire.
The government-backed Help to Grow: Management course is already opening the door to growth for thousands of business leaders across the country.
Delivered by leading UK business schools accredited to the Small Business Charter, Help To Grow: Management includes 50 hours of in depth training, one-to-one business mentoring, and the opportunity to grow your business, fast.
The 12-week programme costs just £750 and is 90 per cent subsidised by the government. Participants can take part around existing work commitments and access learning through a blend of online and face-to-face sessions.
Aimed at senior leaders in small and medium businesses, the course covers strategies for growth and innovation, leading high-performance teams and digital adoption, as well as financial management and responsible business practices. Participants will hear from inspirational business leaders and learn alongside local peers, with access to a national alumni network.
By the end of the programme participants will develop a tailored business growth plan to increase productivity and grow revenue, and help take their business to the next level.
The course is now being run by Hull University Business School with regular cohorts starting from May.
Programme Director Richard Keegan said: “We are delighted to be bringing Help to Grow: Management to the region and giving business leaders the opportunity to accelerate both growth and profitability of their companies.
This is highly practical course that will provide entrepreneurs and managers with the knowledge and confidence to transform their business. They will also grow their networks, learn from peers and draw on extensive business experience of experts and their own business mentor to put what they learn into practice.”
Duncan McCombie, CEO, YES ENERGY SOLUTIONS CIC said:“Engaging with a network of fellow SME business leaders, with the theory and realworld knowledge of staff, allows us to translate the concept into practice. This is already leading to improved productivity and opportunities for growth at YES Energy Solutions CIC.”
Small Business Minister Paul Scully said: “Seizing opportunity is what being a business leader is all about, and our Help to Grow Management Scheme gives entrepreneurs the chance to access the very best advice on how to innovate, reach new customers and boost profits.
“The practical training scheme is 90 per cent funded by the government and designed around busy business owners’ schedules, so I would encourage entrepreneurs across the UK to get involved and maximise the potential of their business.”
