Partnering withBusiness Growth Hub
• Chose carefully– We were looking for a company to help with business advice.
• After the first meeting with Mick Hadfield we knew we had found the advisory service we were looking for
Focus Helped us focus on areas we needed to strengthen Mick, our mentor had relevant industry experience

Confidence– Knowing the BGH were there for us whenever we needed them gave us
the confidence to move into areas we were unsure about.
First AGM– Mick chaired our first AGM. – Enabled us to maintain a focus and direction at the meeting – Assisted with carefully chosen business principles and methods
