This month, I’m excited to start showcasing some of the inspiring members of our Peer2Peer community. You can dress up a coaching session with as many words as you like, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. And here’s a little flavour of one of our members who’s been on the Peer2Peer board for over a year.
Helen is co-owner of The Yorkshire Bridge Inn, a beloved country pub recently nominated for four 2025 Peak District, Derbyshire & Derby Tourism Awards. Here’s what she has to say:
“I’ve found it really beneficial to dedicate time each month focusing on long-term plans and opportunities to grow – not just for the business, but for myself, too. Sitting alongside a supportive group of owners who openly share their insights and experiences has been invaluable.”
It’s no surprise that Helen and her team have achieved so much; her commitment to growing her business with integrity shines through in every meeting. For the Peer2Peer community, the heart of each session is the people around the table, each bringing their unique challenges, insights and support.
Our next Peer2Peer is on 12th December, delving into the science of scaling up a business.
Looking ahead to 2025, I’m especially pleased to announce our new ‘Surge’ meetings, opening the format up specifically for smaller businesses. Over the next couple of months, I’ll be assembling a group to attend these new meetings, beginning in January 2025.
These “sister” sessions will focus on those often-overlooked businesses with fewer than three people – who face challenges just as significant as larger firms but rarely get the same support.
If this feels like you, consider this an open invite. All our events offer a complementary taster session, and you’re welcome to see what Peer2Peer is all about.
