Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes

Gloucestershire organises a monthly workshop programme for scaleups which 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. The year started strongly with the best ever attended event with 60 businesses focusing on sales strategy but the programme has been disrupted by Covid-19.
