Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes

Gloucestershire offers a monthly workshop programme for Scale Up. Attracting more than 100 attendees per year, these workshops offer peer-to-peer learning as well as the sharing of insights from high calibre speakers. Many businesses attend every month, building a network of like-minded business leaders and a community of growing firms.

Key topics ranging from leadership to innovation to funding, delivered by companies including EY and Smith & Williamson, addresses the important gaps in knowledge for rapidly-growing organisations.

Scaleup Views

The key barriers to growth are access to UK markets and access to talent. The key forms of support sought are banks and other financial suppliers, including the British Business Bank, growth hubs and general business support from government.
