The Enterprise Doctor Business Show
Why get involved in a Peer Network?
Show Notes

Today’s podcast has, for the first time since the very first episode of the Enterprise Doctor Business Show, three guests.

Before talking about peer networks and their benefits, I talk to Ceri-Jane Hackling about her business Cerub PR, to Mark Coldham about The Massage Company High Wycombe and then to Grae Laws about Beyond Touch.  

Grae’s work with Beyond Touch has led him to the role of facilitating a peer network group for Buckinghamshire Business First, about which we then talk.

If you’re not in Bucks (but are in England!), don’t worry – the program is national, so if you talk to your local Growth Hub (of which Buckinghamshire Business First is just one) they’ll talk to you about your local offering.

And if you want to know more about growth hubs, go back to season 3 episode 9 of this podcast to hear my conversation with Philippa Batting, MD of Buckinghamshire Business First.  

Grae then addresses my questions around what peer network groups aim to achieve, what the benefits are for participants, with Ceri and Mark contributing with examples from their own very positive experiences as participants in the programme.
