The key barriers to growth are UK Markets & International Markets, Debt & Equity Finance and Access to external support / advice (e.g. from mentors / peers). They are looking for support through Flexible management education/leadership development programmes and want easier access to Local professional services, Banks and other financial suppliers and Local and Regional Government.
