PEER NETWORKS

a government-funded, peer-to-peer networking programme for SME leaders.

In our official capacity with the Mayor of London and the London Business Hub, Thrive can offer free business coaching for the directors of SMEs worth over £5,000. No catch. It's part of an initiative called Peer Networks, designed to support small companies in London to grow back after the COVID pandemic.

Format

The programme covers important areas like people management and motivation, improving technology and managing finances. It’s a mixture of group coaching (with other SME leaders) and 1-2-1 coaching. The programme is delivered by experienced coaches and business experts and is available for a limited period only.

Guest speakers

During the programme you will hear from guest speakers providing valuable insights into SME business growth. 
There will be two guest speakers during the seven week programme:
