Innovating for Growth testimonials

“To know that someone believes in you and your business is an invaluable confidence boost, and the support available is incredible! We came out of our first mentor meeting buzzing about all the work projects and help that lies ahead."

"The Innovating for Growth programme has been absolutely invaluable for our business. It is so rare, when running a small company, that you get the chance to pause, step back and take an objective look at your business, warts and all. This programme has allowed us to do just that. As a result of the sessions, I feel we have a renewed sense of focus, purpose and drive, and that can only be beneficial for our business. Thank you."

“We're really grateful for the attention and wonderful service from you and the programme so far. Looking forward to all the workshops on offer!”

"Although I was skeptical if it could help me, I was amazed that, by the end of each session with the I4G advisors, I thought completely differently about my business and how to move forward".

“The workshops and 1 to 1 sessions are invaluable and I feel really lucky to be able to be part of this programme.”

“This programme is certainly giving me a kick in the right places!! Had a really productive meeting yesterday and am totally shaking up my database to finally make it work for me."

"Innovating for Growth has been mind expanding, and given us a lot of confidence to take the next steps. You really selected the right experts - yesterday's session with Christopher, for example, was incredibly enjoyable and eye opening. He really knows his stuff!"

“It has already given me more confidence and after one meeting I feel inspired, excited and invigorated –  Having this kind of help at no cost, is an amazing opportunity and very rare in the current climate.” 

"Very worth while experience, I feel energized but also emotional which is a powerful combination."

"Within one month of Innovating for Growth I'd received professional advice on strategy, branding, and IP; met with an incredible mentor who instilled her vast experience on PleaseCycle; and, rather unexpectedly, started doing Bikram Yoga as a result!"

"The Innovating for Growth programme has kick started some important projects that are integral to Squid's growth and development in terms of branding, point of sales and marketing. It has been a very pro-active experience for us and certainly pushed Squid in a positive direction with a clearer strategy of what is needed to grow the SquidLondon brand".

“The consultant running our one-to-one session was excellent and challenged us to think about the things we normally put to the back of our minds because we're 'too busy' in the business...strategy, future planning, resourcing, finance.”

"I highly recommend it. The experts they have on hand really know what they are talking about and are incredibly generous with their advice and expertise. I have got so much value out of the one to one's that I can't even begin to describe. If you want to grow your business and get access to this fantastic programme, please apply as it truly is a tremendous opportunity."

"It has been one year since we completed the Innovating for Growth programme.  We have moved on significantly as a business and realised significant growth and aim to further expand the business in the next 12 months.  

Attending the programme enabled the business to take a step back and identify some of the areas that were effectively acting as a barrier to our growth. We were able to put plans in place to address some of these areas and so help to drive the business forward.  We were not able to tackle everything, but getting the feedback that this was quite normal for a company of our size and stage of growth was also reassuring."
