What can your local Growth Hub do for you?

Philippa Batting is the MD of Buckinghamshire Business First, the Growth Hub for Buckinghamshire.

Wherever you are in the UK, there’s a similar Growth Hub doing similar work, so this episode is definitely not just for Bucks based businesses!

So, what do Growth Hubs do?  And why should you become a member?  

The podcast covers off those questions, and also looks at….

·         How Growth Hubs help businesses keep up to speed with what Covid related support is available?

 ·         How should businesses deal with the unknowns around EU transition?

 ·         Why does Enterprise Doctor go to BBF for advice?

 ·         The world is predictably unpredictable – how should you deal with that?

 ·         How to deal with “blank-page-itis”!

 Philippa says about BBF:

 “Running a business is tough. And with so many agencies, associations and federations regulating and advising you, it’s not always clear who to turn to for help. That’s where Buckinghamshire Business First (BBF) comes in.

We operate as the central information and support hub for all businesses in Buckinghamshire – advising, referring and bringing people together.  We are a Growth Hub  and there are 38 Growth Hubs across the UK and there is one that covers your business. 

At BBF our team of experienced business advisors, supported by our members, partners and local authorities, are interested in your business and provide on-going, long-term support and services. Together, we create a unique and vibrant business community that you can be part of and benefit from.”
