One of the cornerstones of the Growth Programme support is our highly recommended Strategic Planning Masterclass Day, which gives you the time to think, reflect, recharge your batteries and plan your vision and direction for your business. And you’ll do this in the company of like-minded business owners who can share experiences, empathise and collaborate.

New for 2025 is a Digital Marketing and Sales Masterclass Day to help you improve your digital marketing engagement and build that all-important sales pipeline.
