January's session: Sustainable growth and you with Dr Graeme Heyes
This month's Big Networking for Small Business, we'll be looking ahead to small changes in your business' strategy and practices to look at how you can operate more sustainably.
About our speaker: Dr Graeme Heyes
Graeme has over 15 years expertise in helping organisations understand their environmental risks and to think creatively about how they can become thriving enterprises in a net-zero society. He's worked with over 200 organisations to help them think differently about their place in the world and how they can become thriving enterprises in an uncertain future.
Graeme's work is nationally and internationally award winning (Eco- I NW: European SDG Initiative of the Year 2023, Praxis Auril Knowledge Exchange Awards Net Zero Collaboration Project of the Year 2023/PrintCity Network: Business Collaboration and Partnerships Programme of the Year) and his training and executive education programmes have been recognised by the Government as “the Gold-Standard in green skills training”. Graeme was also recently seen on BBC Morning Live talking about the Circular Economy and reducing waste at Christmas by renting.
Why Big Networking for Small Businesses?
We know that the best way to stay motivated as a business owner is to have a support structure around you. Everyone needs a gang of business buddies that are there when you need them.
Our sessions are a chance to have real conversations, build links and, most importantly, have fun.
What to expect...
At each session, you'll find a relaxed room full of old and new friends catching up over cups of tea and snacks!
Each month, you'll hear from a guest speaker and you'll be able to find out about the funded business support on offer to help you grow your business, too.
Our sessions are run as part of our Help to Grow: Management programme but you don't need to be part of the course to attend these networking sessions. They're open to all small business owners and managers.
