Up Coming Events
Heres’s what businesses have to say from our last programme
“The business support offered through Richmond Council was a lifeline. I was just about to quit and get a job and this came along.
I will be forever grateful for all the work that Helen and Ray and all at CPG have done and of course for Richmond Council.“
“I’ve gained so much from working with My growth pod. They gave me the information & the tools I needed when setting up my bespoke design business, but I feel one of the most important tools they gave me was the language and confidence to be able to speak to the right people to move my digital footprint to the next level.
Thank you.”
“I am so grateful to have someone to help me navigate the challenges I was facing at such a difficult time. I could not see the wood from the trees and needed an outside perspective to help me build a plan for growth and to keep me accountable.
It shifted my thinking, I was trying to compete with the big boys and do what they are doing, and I forgot about who we are, what makes us special, and why we exist.”
