What's in it for you?
Peer Networks is a national initiative for SME leaders that want to grow and develop their organisation for future success.
Delivered locally by the Thames Valley Berkshire Business Growth Hub – which offers quality, fully funded, impartial support services and expert advice to SME business leaders in Berkshire - we establish diverse cohort groups of business leaders from across the county to collaboratively work through common business issues and widen their professional network.
We’ll facilitate the sharing of your own challenges, solutions, knowledge and experience to help you connect to other business leaders and implement practical solutions.
Our expert facilitators will be covering topics based on your current challenges and opportunities, including finance and HR, marketing and management, COVID-19, EU transition and much more.
With an additional 3.5 hours of dedicated, one-to-one support delivered separately by an expert business adviser, we will help you to strategise and implement solutions.
