Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes
The Inspire Elite Programme provides a combination of peer-to-peer networking and education as well as intensive support through workshops, one-to-one advice and senior management team mentoring.
Members are also offered a range of services such as in-house recruitment advice, guidance on developing a successful distribution strategy, support to find funding and referral to leadership development programmes such as Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses UK.
