West Oxfordshire Business Accelerator Peer Networks (October)

The West Oxfordshire Business ACCELERATOR programme is a bespoke package of enhanced and accelerated support for established and trading small businesses in the district.

Delivered through a series of high-impact group sessions, businesses meet on zoom for 3 weeks to explore problems, collaborate, and share knowledge. The topics covered are chosen by participants - each week one participant shares the issue or challenge of their choice, followed by a facilitated discussion and sharing from Peers.

By engaging with the Peer Networks programme, businesses will:

• Overcome business challenges and recognise and act on new opportunities
• Build a trusted network of connections to support you now and in the future
• Improve your long term personal and business performance

A previous participant of the programme said “It is a really nice surprise when you raise a problem which you think is unique to your business, but then find out others have the same or similar ones. Even if they have not had similar experiences, the feedback and suggested solutions are often not what you would have expected or even thought about but still highly relevant and useful. Peer 2 Peer is an invaluable opportunity to experience and benefit from this.”

The group will meet weekly on zoom on Tuesday between 5:00pm and 7:00pm.
