The Inclusive Growth London programme is designed to support micro and small female-owned and/or disabled-owned businesses with the potential to grow, based or trading in Camden, Hackney, Tower Hamlets or Westminster. It delivers scale up business support across the boroughs and aims to strengthen confidence and resilience in underrepresented business owners to unlock growth opportunities.
One of our participants, Laura May shares her experience and journey on the programme.
As a small business owner seeking guidance on organic and sustainable business growth, I joined the Inclusive Growth London programme knowing Newable have exceptional advisers, I was confident their support would be invaluable.
As part of the programme, I participated in both in-person and virtual sessions tailored to my needs. The in-person sessions focused on networking, articulating value propositions and marketing effectiveness, which were essential for my business’s growth.
The virtual mentorship sessions with my specialist adviser, Veronica Munoz de Andrea were key in addressing my challenges. Veronica helped me identify issues and create a comprehensive plan for better delivery. Additionally, I discovered resources such as intern support from partner institutions which will aid my expansion.
As a result of the guidance received, I have revamped my marketing plan with a clear strategy and budget, making it easier to communicate goals to new hires. I also plan to onboard an intern soon, which will streamline operations. Now, I have a clearer understanding of my value propositions and how to communicate them effectively. Overall, my experience with the Inclusive Growth London programme has equipped me with the skills and resources necessary for sustainable business growth.
“I joined the Inclusive Growth London programme as a small business owner seeking guidance to grow my business organically and sustainably. This programme has significantly helped my business journey. My adviser Veronica Munoz de Andrea, provided crucial advice, contacts and resources that I couldn’t have accessed otherwise. I now feel equipped with a clear plan for the upcoming years. As I reflect on this experience, I can say, “The support from the Inclusive Growth London programme has helped me develop a focused plan with clear strategies. I’m now more confident and ready to put these into action and grow.”
