Create a trusted support network
National programme funded by Central Government
About Peer Networks
Peer Networks is a national peer-to-peer networking programme for SME leaders that want to grow and develop their organisation for future success.
This programme has been curated to allow businesses and business owners to share and gain knowledge and help from expert facilitators.
The programme has been delivered locally by Worcestershire Business Central during the first quarter of 2021, where we created diverse cohort groups of individuals who were able to collaboratively work through common business issues. Through interactive action learning, cohorts were able to discuss their own challenges, gain and reflect on valuable feedback and implement practical solutions to overcome them.
From finance and HR to sales, marketing and more, the expert facilitators give businesses the flexibility to create a trusted support network that works for them, helping them to build and strengthen the business and improve its overall performance.
More information on the benefits, eligibility criteria and delivery of the programme can be found below.
We are now looking for businesses to register their interest for future cohorts of the Peer Networks programme, to do so please get in touch with the team by emailing info@business-central.co.uk with the subject line “Peer Networks Interest”.
Benefits
Businesses that seek external advice or undertake formal training are more likely to improve their overall performance, but many prefer to take advice from trusted sources, such as their peers, when presented with external challenges and opportunities.
Peer Networks enables you to make connections that go far beyond networking.

Overcome business challenges and recognise and act on new opportunities
Build a trusted network of connections to support you now and in the future
