Group2Grow - The Essex Peer Network Programme

The Group2Grow Peer Network Programme has now closed for applications. For information on other support that is available through Backing Essex Business.

Group2Grow peer groups bring together cohorts of business professionals to learn, grow, and solve common problems using each other’s knowledge and experience, with the support, guidance, and mentoring of a Business Coach.

Over 8 x 2 hr group sessions and 3 hours of individual 1:1 sessions with an expert mentor we will through discussion and discovery, uncover the challenges faced by your business and work together to find logical and practical solutions.

We recognise that businesses are unique, and that whilst challenges may be shared, there is no magic algorithm for solutions. We use our collective experience and that of our group members to work together to find the ideal solutions for you and your business.
