Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes

Silver to Gold (S2G) provides a guided, highly interactive learning programme over six months, working through the core areas of business management to produce a roadmap for growth. Participants with like-minded CEOs and successful business leaders from a variety of industries who understand the challenges faced by scaling businesses. Growth masterclasses supplement learning with specific issues such as Capital Allowances Super Deductions. Alumni are referred to a range of programmes run by partner associations such as Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses UK.
Businesses can also participate in Mastermind sessions which resemble a ‘board’ of like-minded CEOs who understand the growth journey. This fully-funded peer to peer learning programme gives business leaders opportunities for creative thinking and brave decision-making; they share success stories and challenges then identify what is holding them back and potential solutions.

Scale Up New Anglia is planning to build up its core programmes in terms of Digital Marketing, HR, Marketing and Sales. The latter will allow the inclusion of teams rather than just specific individuals such as the CEO. Local alumni groups are to be expanded as SUNA has found that many alumni are already meeting up informally.
