14:00 - 16:15 Learning From SME Business Success

We all know we can learn from high profile success stories and business books, but we can't always relate to the scale of their examples or context. This down-to-earth learning from success workshop will be opened by two successful Oxfordshire SME business leaders who are just like you! Listen to their stories, ask probing questions, and learn about the Oxfordshire and UK context in which you are aiming to succeed. This will be a learning and doing session with collaborative discussions on tables.

This session will close with sign-posting to other fully funded support including expert 1:1 help with growing your business.

The event will close by 16:30.
