Andrew Leeming, programme manager, Boost said: “We have already had some brilliant group sessions take place in Lancashire as part of Peer Networks, tackling key challenges businesses are facing through collaboration.

“All companies have faced unprecedented challenges this year and many have struggled with the situation. With EU Exit and other uncertainties on the horizon, engaging with likeminded leaders to share your challenges, learn from shared experiences and build resilience is something every business should consider.

“For some businesses, the focus is on the future and Peer Networks gives them the chance to discuss their vision and better shape their goals and strategy. I urge all businesses in Lancashire to get in touch and benefit from this brilliant fully-funded support while they still have the chance.”

Eligible businesses will benefit from 18 hours of funded support delivered through facilitated peer learning sessions as well as one-to-one coaching.

The sessions will take place between now and March with participating companies given the opportunity to tailor support sessions to suit their challenges and goals.

Boost is Lancashire’s Business Growth Hub. It is led by the Lancashire LEP (Local Enterprise Partnership) and Lancashire County Council and supported by funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
