Testimonials
Claire Stringer-Phillips (Cohort 3)
Head of Marketing, Reflex Group
I've learned a lot, had some fun and had the privilege of meeting some inspiring people. I would thoroughly recommend Help to Grow to any local business owners - I have improved my business knowledge outside of Marketing, benefited from 1:1 mentorship and enjoyed meeting other people working in SMBs in the local area - sharing ideas, challenges and working together to make our businesses better.
Rachael Hudson (Cohort 4)
Director, AMO Group
Anyone looking to take a fast-paced course going back to basics and allowing you to step 'out' of your business learning to understand how to successfully grow your business then this is the course for you. Huddersfield Business School and the whole team are probably the nicest group of people I have ever met.
Joff Ward (Cohort 5)
Director, CorkSol UK Ltd
Had a great time learning, not just theories and models, but about my own business and how I interact with it. Met some other inspiring business leaders, from whom I also learnt a lot. If you are in West Yorkshire, take a look at this.
Berenice Northcott (Cohort 5)
Director, Access North Ltd
I’ve definitely learnt more than I thought I would, and for someone who’s been in business for 20 years, I can say it taught me aplenty!
