Swan: growing established businesses

After successfully moving out of the incubation years our third level of support concentrates on the growth of your business.

Being an established business can bring a whole new set of problems that again our mentoring and networking programmes can solve through the experiences of other. We aim to build on the solid base provided by our earlier levels of support by continuing to support your training needs and expansion plans.

What is in it for me?
  • Opportunity to work with other businesses in the region
  • Network for advice, guidance and support
  • Member -2- Member offers
  • Forum for discussion and debate
  • Access to local suppliers and service providers
  • Help to access funding
  • Collaborative partnership opportunities
  • Access to coaching and mentoring programmes for staff
  • Access to accredited training
  • Greater corporate social responsibility
What contribution can I make?
  • Mentoring for established businesses to support growth
  • Input to web resource library
  • Input to network meetings, training and master classes
  • Improvements to the local economy
  • Specialist advice and guidance, as required (eg. HR and flexible working)
I have been with Swans from day one. As an established business not only can I share my own experiences but I also have the opportunity to challenge my thinking and have learned from those who are newer to business.
