GetSet for Growth were on the road this July to talk all things business. Lydia, Sally and Jenny from GetSet for Growth delivered sessions on business strategy and finance to the ‘Freelance Mum’ network as part of their first ever micro business retreat!
Our West of England ‘GetSet for Goals’ mixed football team recently had a wonderful time competing in a weekend charity football tournament in support of the ‘Well Beans’ initiative.
Based in Bristol, this social peer network helps start conversations surrounding mental health and provides a compassionate culture in which individuals can engage, with the ultimate aim of reducing social isolation. Through their range of services such as training, wellbeing workshops and local events they continue to assist individuals with mental health to empower themselves and those around them.
The GetSet programme is designed to help ambitious businesses grow. Our fully funded work in the region in collaboration with the Dorset Business Growth Partnership is available to help any county-based SME wanting to become more competitive in the market. Dedicated strands of activity include pre-start and start-up support, focussing on improving companies’ marketing performance, and overall financial management capabilities.
Over the past 18 months, YTKO Group’s GetSet for Growth East London has successfully supported 500+ businesses, created 200+ local jobs and helped clients access £500,000+ of growth finance.
This would not have been possible without the support of multinational banking and financial services company, J.P. Morgan. The YTKO Group has a 30-year+ track record of advising both new and established businesses throughout its regional UK offices. The partnership between YTKO and J.P. Morgan ultimately resulted in the creation of the GetSet for Growth East London programme, which is geared toward helping businesses overcome the two biggest challenges to growth – access to finance and business development.
GetSet for Growth West of England recently celebrated their 1 year anniversary. Having helped more than 500 businesses in the area and created 100 new jobs already, reaching this exciting milestone called for a celebratory event! Clients and partners alike, including NatWest, JBP PR and the University of the West of England, were entertained on arrival by some incredible tricks performed by magician Adam Richards.
