Festival of Enterprise

Organiser

Festival of Enterprise

Strategy can be sidetracked in the day to day running of a business, and scaling up takes the back seat as you end up dealing with piles of paperwork, projects going wrong or dealing with your overflowing inbox.

This shows in the statistics – according to the ScaleUp Institute, scaleups bring in £1.3tn of the £1.9tn generated by all UK SMEs. The remainder is brought in by millions of companies not making anywhere near as much of an impact as they could.

There’s clearly more than a few secrets business owners need to learn about when it comes to growth. Fortunately, the Festival of Enterprise will reveal them all.

Foundations of the event

Across 4 main stages and 3 masterclasses run by Google, LinekdIn & WTT, there’s hours and hours of content to benefit from.

This is where you will learn from real business experiences.

Hear how they went about getting the funding that enabled their growth.

How they grew their management and delivery teams. The big obstacles they overcame and how they re-shaped their plans as they grew.

LIST OF SPEAKERS

 

Freedom to focus

The suppliers you’ll meet at the exhibition part of the event will have expertise in areas you don’t.

They will show you how they can free your business up to focus on what it does best.

Successful businesses often delegate non-core tasks. It frees them from tasks that other people are better suited for. It enables them to focus on growth.

LIST OF EXHIBITORS

 

Keeping you on track with the things that matter most

The demands of running a business day to day can get you sidetracked from the strategy.

Those demands can also impede your creativity and innovation.

Being in the company of thousands of other owners and entrepreneurs is invigorating.

We call it “being in the ideas zone.”

It’s a place that all business owners and managers need to be in from time to time.

Making it all worthwhile

Owning, running and growing a business is demanding.

Those long hours spent working and away from your family need to be rewarded.

That’s why the Festival of Enterprise has a whole section devoted to personal finance.

And why there are experts on hand to talk about planning a successful exit strategy when you feel that the goals for this particular business have been achieved.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans. 

 

PALACIOS LTD,

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

Exeter Analytical (UK) Limited,

Thank you for the comprehensive and professional guidance

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
