At Growth Works, we’re always interested in learning more about the specific challenges businesses are facing when growing their business. So alongside robust national studies – the most recent published by the Scaleup Institute – we’ve been doing a little bit of our own ongoing research this year. Our diagnostic data based on high growth and growth ambitious businesses across more than 20 different sectors in the region – in need of support - has so far revealed that sales and marketing strategy, access to growth finance and retaining the right people are leading barriers to their growth. That’s interesting to us. Particularly as businesses are now operating in a post-lockdown, post-Brexit economy, these results tell us that businesses recognise their need to stay agile to an evolved (and unconfident) market, with heightened competition and a growing concern for accessing skilled talent. Our new Autumn season of expert masterclasses and workshops, starting this October, will delve deep into these topics. They have been specifically designed so business leaders can take our expertise and insights straight back into their business to drive tangible results (and fast).
