A specialised four-week course to help businesses grow gets under way later this month – and promises to be better than ever.
The 2026 Business Growth Challenge – supported by the Department for Business and Trade – aims to bring together practical strategies, insider tips and expert guidance to help your business thrive.
This year’s challenge is led by Jeremy Brim, an award-winning business capture expert and Cranfield School of Management lecturer, alongside Jules Brim, founder of Marketing Mixology and marketing strategist for SMEs.
The pair boast decades of experience to help you ignite growth and reach your ideal customers.
The challenge kicks off on January 23 with a one-hour online session looking at business growth strategy. Jeremy will share some proven strategies for sustainable growth and examine ways of winning big opportunities.
The second session on January 30 will strip away some of the jargon around marketing as Jules shows businesses how to attract their ideal customers and make marketing work for them.
Jeremy returns for the third masterclass on February 6 to help you master the art of pitching and presenting, so that more opportunities are converted into business wins.
Finally, Jeremy will look at the art of bidding and closing deals in the fourth session, sharing vital tips on dealing the deal and securing high-value contracts.
All the sessions start at 11am and are hosted in partnership with growth transformation and training organisation Growth Ignition. You can sign up for individual sessions or complete the full series for the ultimate experience.
