Scaleup Leaders Network

A targeted programme helping owners and managers of fast-growing businesses to accelerate their expansion through sustained growth coaching and by learning from other scaleup leaders over a 12-month period.

The Scaleup Leaders Network gives 30 high-performing SME business leaders the opportunity to accelerate their business growth through an established, successful Two Zero model of targeted growth coaching and peer learning with other scaleup leaders.

The fully-funded programme will be delivered by business growth consultancy Cube Thinking to the leaders of 30 Lancashire scaleup businesses who can demonstrate potential to accelerate their growth.

It will build on an established scaleup support model used in Two Zero’s highly successful Scaleup Resurgence programme, developing the leadership mindset and scaleup strategies of those on the programme through one-to-one coaching and peer learning alongside the leaders of other well-known Lancashire scaleup businesses.

The Scaleup Leaders Network will also focus on helping participants develop robust strategies for accessing finance, Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) and refining their overall scaleup business strategy which they will review quarterly with experts.

This programme is fully funded by Lancashire County Council.
