UNLOCKING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR BUSINESS with the GROWTH Hillingdon Business Support Programme

Why GROWTH Hillingdon stands out

Running a business is both rewarding and challenging. As a small or mediumsized business owner, you’ve likely experienced the complexities of managing growth, finding the right resources, and building meaningful connections - all while juggling the day-to-day demands of running your operation. If this sounds familiar, the GROWTH Hillingdon Business Support Programme is here to help you unlock new opportunities and take your business to the next level.

Funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Hillingdon Council, this forward-thinking programme is completely free of charge. Designed to empower businesses across Hillingdon, it offers tailored support to help you grow efficiently, strategically, and with confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered how to overcome the roadblocks to your success, this is your chance to find the solutions you need - while benefiting from the experience of seasoned mentors and experts.

No two businesses are the same, and that’s why GROWTH Hillingdon takes a personalised approach to supporting entrepreneurs. Whether you’re a sole trader laying the foundations of your venture or a scaling business preparing to partner with larger corporations like Heathrow, the programme is tailored to meet your unique needs.

From one-to-one mentoring to practical workshops and peer networking opportunities, every aspect of the programme is designed to provide actionable insights that can make a tangible difference to your business.

Here’s what makes it so effective:

Expert mentoring: Your growth guide

At the heart of the programme is personalised mentoring. Each participant is matched with a mentor whose expertise aligns with their business goals, ensuring the guidance is directly relevant to your challenges.

One past participant shared their experience:

“The team really takes into account what you are looking for and want to achieve. My mentor was a great match and helped me work on areas in a different way to help my business blossom.”

Research supports this approach. According to the Association of Business Mentors, 76% of businesses report significant growth as a result of mentoring. With three one-to-one sessions, you’ll work closely with your mentor to identify growth opportunities, develop strategies, and address challenges.

Workshops: Actionable insights from industry experts

The learning doesn’t stop with mentoring. The programme offers expert-led workshops that tackle crucial aspects of running and growing a business. Topics range from financial management to marketing strategies, equipping you with practical skills and knowledge to apply immediately.

These interactive sessions aren’t just about gaining information—they’re designed to inspire new ideas and spark innovation. Many participants leave with a renewed sense of direction and confidence, ready to implement changes and grow their business.

A supportive community: The power of peer networking

Running a business can sometimes feel isolating, but the peer network provided by the programme ensures you’re never alone on your journey.

This community of like-minded entrepreneurs offers a space to share ideas, celebrate successes, and exchange advice. As one participant noted:

“It’s a great programme to meet like-minded people.”
