Celebrating the power and potential of small businesses
Our Start-up and Small Business Academy is proud to have supported over 100 businesses in the last two years.
It's time to celebrate with a Start-up & Small Business Showcase!
Starting and growing a business can feel overwhelming - from funding and marketing to finding customers, managing time and building the right support network.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or isolated on your business journey, you’re not alone.
You are invited to join us at ‘Start-up & Small Business Showcase’ to celebrate the power and potential of small businesses in our region.
We are bringing together all those businesses who have benefited from the academy together with our experts for a morning of learning, conversations and celebration.
The event will be lead by Academy Lead, Jayne Hume, who designed and has delivered the Academy since it started in 2023. “I’m really excited about being able to bring together all our cohorts in what I know will be a ‘master’ of masterclasses covering all our academy topics from Finance to Sales and from Marketing to People. It's been an absolute pleasure to support our small businesses and see how they help each other, as starting and sustaining a small business is rewarding but often tough - so the saying ‘Stronger together’ has never been more true”.
