Published on in Skills & Uncategorised
The BEST Growth Hub (BEST) have teamed up with provider partner, South-East Business Boost, (SEBB) to support the Castlepoint Business Support Day on the 2nd of December, taking place at the Old Fire Station, Hadleigh, Benfleet SS7 2PB
Adele Hagon, spokesperson for BEST commented: “We are delighted to be supporting this event with SEBB. Since I joined the BEST Growth Hub, I just can’t believe how much free support is available for businesses. I would urge Essex business owners to enjoy using their local hub and grab free support with both hands.”
SEBB is currently supporting more than 50 businesses in and around Essex, offering guidance and free support to help small businesses grow. The programme runs until December 2022, but spaces are limited.
SEBB offers a flexible programme, of 12 hours free business support to businesses across Essex, offering interactive workshops and mentoring, covering digital marketing, finance, creating digital content and video, leadership, and management skills, how to sell more, in-depth customer engagement and more
Business owner, Rosita, has been running her Interior Design business for 19 years. However, with the challenges of the pandemic, Rosita sought help from the South-East Business Boost. (SEBB) During the second lockdown of 2021, Rosita was close to giving up her business as she was facing many challenges.
Rosita commented: “Lockdown had huge effects on small businesses like mine. We were all really struggling. The programme helped me to have a better understanding of social media and I learnt new ways to get sales. I was about to give up, but the support I received enabled me to see new ways of doing business – that’s why I am back!”.
Sue Mundicha-Katerere commented: “How the course was delivered overall exceeded my expectation. Furthermore, the methods of measuring cashflow showed me how my business would be performing. The financial skills I have gained will provide me with the basic understanding I require. Well done to the team that put the programme together. I recommend any person running their own business without basic financial knowledge to take the course.”
