THE BUSINESS GROWTH HUB LIMITED awarded a contract to 16 Suppliers awarded for the delivery of the Peer Networks initiative in Greater Manchester.

The contract, valued at AUD 160,000, involves a panel of providers delivering the service on an individual cohort basis, with an initial group of 16 pilot cohorts and potential expansion if additional funding becomes available.

Each cohort comprises circa 11 SME owners/managers and includes either 9 virtual sessions of two hours each or 6 sessions of three hours each, led by a trained facilitator.

Participants also receive one hour of dedicated one-to-one engagement with the facilitator, plus additional in-depth support through referral to the Business Growth Hub, amounting to a minimum of 3.5 hours of individual support per participant.

Sessions are typically held fortnightly, with cohorts finishing no later than the end of March 2021.

Topics are determined by participants and may include finance, HR, sales and marketing, adjusting to social distancing, business model innovation, and change management.
