New peer network launched to boost Coventry and Warwickshire leaders
A new wave of business support is transforming Coventry and Warwickshire with the launch of the CW Peer to Peer Network, a collaboration between Growth Plans Ltd and CW Growth Hub Group.
Launched in January, this initiative is specifically designed for businesses facing the challenges of scale-up.
It provides a trusted space for business leaders to share their challenges, identify common ground, and collaborate on innovative solutions to drive sustainable growth.
The CW Peer to Peer Network offers a confidential and collaborative forum where leaders can work on their businesses, gain fresh perspectives, and enhance their leadership skills.
By engaging with peers facing similar challenges, participants can alleviate the isolation often experienced at the top, improve decision-making, and achieve a better work-life balance.
This supportive environment fosters the exchange of diverse views and innovative ideas, leading to personal and professional growth.
Liz Whitfield, Director of Growth Plans Ltd, led the inaugural session. She said: “I was thrilled to facilitate a peer-to-peer session for the Coventry & Warwickshire Growth Hub.
“The room was buzzing with energy as a dozen Directors from diverse businesses came together to share their experiences. The ability to openly discuss common challenges and aspirations with peers is incredibly powerful.”
“Leadership can be a lonely journey, with tough decisions resting on your shoulders. This forum provided a much-needed space for open discussion and fresh perspectives.
“It was inspiring to see participants leave with renewed confidence and innovative ideas to drive their businesses forward.”
The CW Growth Hub Group remains committed to understanding and addressing both obstacles and opportunities, helping businesses navigate their growth journey with clarity and confidence.
Craig Humphrey, CEO of the CW Growth Hub Group, underscored the importance of the CW Peer to Peer Network, saying: “Our mission at the Growth Hub is to ensure businesses have the right tools and insights to grow.
“Hearing first-hand from local leaders about their experiences was invaluable, and these discussions will play a key role in shaping future business support initiatives.”
With continued sessions planned, the CW Peer to Peer Network is set to strengthen Coventry & Warwickshire’s business ecosystem, ensuring leaders have the connections, support, and inspiration they need to scale with confidence.
