Award-winning entrepreneur, Dawn Edwards of Challenge Consulting will facilitate a Women in Business Peer Network which starts next month. The Network, along with others focused on high-growth businesses and future leaders, is being run by East Midlands Chamber and is part of the East Midlands Accelerator programme.*
Peer Networks have been hugely successful over the last few years in helping business owners navigate the challenges of Covid19, Brexit and rising costs. They have been shown to help owners and senior managers:
- Overcome business challenges and act on new opportunities
- Build trusted networks to support them now and in the future
- Improve their long-term personal and business performance
- Achieve higher turnover, employment levels and productivity growth.
This programme is open to Leicester city-based businesses, trading over one year, with at least three employees, a turnover of £100,000 and looking to improve. View more details on the Chamber’s website.
*East Midlands Accelerator is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund.
The UK Community Renewal Fund is a UK Government programme for 2021/22. This aims to support people and communities most in need across the UK to pilot programmes and new approaches to prepare for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. It invests in skills, community and place, local business, and supporting people into employment.
