You can’t bake a cake without combining a range of different ingredients. Each one adds something to the recipe, and missing out just one might result in failure. Why should running a business be any different?

The last eighteen months haven’t been easy, and many managers and business owners have been left struggling and feeling isolated. It doesn’t have to be this way though! By joining with other business leaders, and inspiring each other with your stories, you can get the help, support, and encouragement you need to make your business thrive.

Join us for ‘The Ingredients for Success’, and meet guest speaker Candice Brown. After gaining national fame by winning the Great British Bake-Off in 2016, Candice has gone on to found and manage a successful local business. Hear her inspirational story, and how she achieved success with local support and the help of her fellow business leaders.

What will be covered?

You will also have the opportunity to hear from other local businesses that have taken part in our Peer Networks Programme. Hear how meeting with other like minded businesses has helped them overcome challenges, generate new leads and ultimately, grow their business.
