Business Growth

A 12-month business growth and sustainability programme, bridging the gap in business education for women.

Welcome to Business Growth (previously Bloom and Grow)! We have seen a significant rise in women setting up their own businesses in the UK. Running your own business is fantastic – it helps you to live a flexible life, fitting work commitments around busy personal lives whilst boosting the local economy. But for many women, juggling the various roles that we have make growing a business a real struggle.

There is clear evidence that businesses that use a business coach and have support structures in place, have significantly higher growth success. As a single mum and business owner, Jane Binnion could not find a coach that really understood her needs and that resulted in the creation of The Growing Club.

Is this programme right for you…?

Have you been running a small business, or a not-for-profit organisation, for at least 12 months?

Would you like to grow your business with a supportive group of peers?

If the answer is yes to both, then Business Growth is most definitely for you!

Being a sole trader I found it hard to make unemotional decisions, but working alongside likeminded people, I feel I am in control of my destiny and business growth.

"I have found the Growing Club to be of great help and support. Jane is a brilliant tutor and mentor and is passionate about helping women to succeed in business. She is supportive and funny and the monthly sessions are informative and enjoyable. It is confidential and the support is excellent from Jane and everyone in the group. It has exceeded my expectations and really helped me to achieve my goals."
