PEER NETWORKS.
ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING.
The peer-to-peer networking programme is a national SME business support programme that is being delivered locally and has been designed for business leaders who want to grow and develop their organisation for future success. The programme is aimed at helping business leaders find practical solutions to strategic and operational challenges and is also part of the Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing EU transition and entry into a new trading environment, essentially seeking to improve the resilience of SMEs, their capability to adapt their business models to the “new normal” and position themselves for future success, in order to drive longer-term productivity gains.
