We are delighted to invite our members to apply for Peer Networks, a fully funded initiative delivered in partnership with BEIS and Manchester Growth Company.

This exciting initiative will run from May through to September 2021. It is specifically designed for business owners who are looking to scale up their business, and combat challenges faced in the business environment.

Successful businesses will attend six 3-hour action-learning sessions with an expert facilitator and coach. In the sessions, businesses will discuss and share challenges and best practices with likeminded individuals.

Participants will also receive 3.5 hours of 1-1 support delivered by GMCC.

The criteria for participants are as follows:

  • Greater Manchester based business
  • At least 5 employees
  • Turnover of £100k – there is some flexibility on this as we appreciate that Covid has had an adverse impact
  • Business has been in operation for over one year

We are only able to offer this opportunity to a limited number of business owners so please only apply if you fit the above criteria and can commit to attending all 6 sessions and utilising the 1-1 support.
