  • "Having not done any sort of business support before, the peer network really opened my eyes and bought a huge understanding to me personally and I hope to my business.The insights from the others business on the program are so valuable, we all share the same problems and challenges, I am not sure how I would have got some of the nuggets of inspiring information in any other way!"

  • "Elevate has been fantastic from day one! I have learned so much and with the advice & ideas offered by the BizSmart team and the other members of the Elevate program I know we are in a much better place than when we started. The main driver for me to apply to join Elevate was to build up our B2B channel and we have done some great work in this area and I don't think it is any coincidence that July & August have been our two strongest months in terms of B2B sales. One other area that has been incredible for us is the work we did on cohesive teams... our team here at The Name Label Company is unrecognisable to how we were before Elevate."

  • "Having completed the Goldman Sachs high growth course in January 2020 I was extremely impressed with the Elevate program. Very well structured to offer support across all elements of your business strategically, tactically, and operationally. The tutors were amazing, offering expert advice in a very human and measured way. The peer support was excellent to be able to have other business leaders that bonded very quickly enabling high levels of engagement in a trusted environment where everyone felt comfortable to share their key challenges and share best practices. A thoroughly beneficial program that lost no impact considering we had to complete the program remotely and I would recommend this to any business owners looking to grow, expand and develop themselves and their business. Thank you Elevate it was an absolute pleasure."

  • "I know how important business planning is. The Smart90 planning sessions give me the opportunity to work ON my business and set the strategy and actions for the next 90 days and beyond. What is great about these sessions is you get to spend it with other businesses undertaking the same process. Whereas, we are all different it is great to share ideas, seek peer advice and be able to bounce ideas and thoughts off fellow business owners in a safe environment. It's powerful and I highly recommend it for any business owner who seriously wants business success and growth."

    - Claire Hill Hill HR Consultancy Limited


  • "The Smart 90 planning session provides me with time out of the business to work on the strategy aligned to my vision - both personal and professional. It's fantastic to spend a day with like-minded business owners and share both wins and challenges and review progress against the big picture. The 90 day planning session is now cemented into my diary and non-negotiable."
