This month Guernsey Chamber of Commerce host the first of a new series of events tailored towards small businesses.
#GrowMySME workshops are designed to be bite-sized, actionable sessions to enhance the knowledge and skills of the local business community, plus provide valuable opportunities for networking.
The series kicks off on Tuesday 23 January with a breakfast workshop on How to Harness Social Media, a subject that is vital to strong business growth.
The #GrowMySME programme features a unique approach; each workshop is delivered by a local Chamber member who is also an expert in their field. This means the content is not only relevant but also tailored to the specific needs and challenges faced by Guernsey’s small business community.
Participants can expect to gain insights and strategies that can be immediately applied to their businesses, resulting in tangible growth.
