At the beginning of February 2015 I wrote a blog post to celebrate Janet and her amazing achievements – this included the latest news about her becoming an official Growth Accelerator Coach. So following on from this we thought it might be worth writing a little bit about what Growth Accelerator actually is and how it can benefit a business.
Growth Accelerator is a government-backed service that is part of the Business Growth Service. The sole purpose for this programme is to give thriving businesses the essential support they need to get to the next level. So if you know where you want to go next but you just need a hand getting there, the Growth Accelerator programme may be ideal for your business.
Did you know that the most common barriers for business growth is related to strategy and management? And did you also know that 94% of those using [business] advice have seen benefits?
So why not invest in a Growth Accelerator coach, like Janet, to benefit from professional business advice – you’ll get more than just the match-funding out of it! Coaches are dotted all across the UK and are wanting to support you and help you to grow.
As I’ve mentioned in the past, Janet has had the privilege of working with many businesses which were all at different stages of growth. She has a passion for people and doesn’t just look at developing the business itself but enjoys seeing how the businessmen and women develop as individuals too. She has a friendly and approachable manor but that doesn’t mean she lacks any professionalism! Janet knows her stuff and you can definitely judge her by her fruit!
