Growth Partners
for people
With a vision to help businesses grow from the inside out, we chat with Growth Partners’ CEO Scott Read to get to the heart of their business What was the driving force for starting Growth Partners? In both name and vision, Growth Partners are a business growth consultancy that began with a simple mission: to help businesses grow from the inside out. We believe that people are at the centre of every business and the work we do doesn’t shy away from this. Our unique range of HR and wellbeing services allows us to offer a bespoke solution for businesses looking to grow. Our services enable employers not only to reduce their overheads, but also to boost workplace wellbeing, optimise productivity targets and win back time. What are the core values of the company?

What are the main skills required to succeed in business?

At Growth Partners, we’re working with companies across the UK to promote this through expert consultation and technology. To quote Richard Branson: “If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.” In order to wire your business for success, you need to make sure your employees aren’t left out of the picture. 0116 340 3116 growthpartnersplc.co.uk scott.read@growthpartnersplc.co.uk NICHE | 51
