Business Growth Programme (BGP) Brochure

The role of our counsellors

Central and unique to BGP, you’ll work closely with one of our counsellors in a small, non-competitive, peer-to-peer mentoring group of owner-managers.

BGP counsellors are highly experienced and hand-picked experts who all have experience of running and working with SMEs. The counsellor will: • Be with yo u from start to end, • Facilitate your group of owner-managers, • Ensure you get the most out of your BGP experience, • Share their expertise and experiences of challenges and opportunities, • Act as a ‘flat mirror’, • Ensure you stay focused on your priorities, • Protect confidentiality. The BGP counsellor plays a key role in the development – and indeed the lives – of the participants that they mentor. In many cases the relationship does not end when the programme ends, but often continues well into the future, as does the bond formed between the delegates themselves.

BGP aims to create a community of inspired owner-managers committed to developing themselves and their businesses.
