“I think it was a really insightful course, it provided me with practical tools (margin calculation, canvas) which I use regularly, definitely is the beginning of some strong collaborations with peers in the group and helped me identify where there is opportunity to further support small brands. I think it made me more convinced that following (B Corp) people, profit, planet was the right thing for me and was fundamental to how I see the future of business.”

"BOTG has been brilliant. Although we’re all super busy, it opened an opportunity for collaboration within the group which I think is a great route forward for new and growing businesses that are struggling with budget. In addition the open dialogue and probing thinking required for the workshops was invaluable and encouraged lateral thinking around each business that wouldn’t have happened without the workshops."

“Chris Bate has been amazing highly skilled. I feel humbled by his industry knowledge."

“I would highly recommend the BOTG workshop to any small business as it was not only massively informative but also encouraged me to look at my business from new points of view which gave me clarity and new directions to consider….plus it was very friendly and I’ve made some great business connections through it too!“

"BOTG exceeded my expectations – I understand and have experience with most of the topics covered but to have the time to reflect on my own plans, strategy, priorities and to receive constructive feedback and ideas from experts and people with wide experience was incredibly helpful.

I took some clear actions away – and have made a number of great connections who I can share ideas with and bounce things off."

Nick Websdell - Rhythm Solutions (Risk Management)

"BOTG was a fantastic and enjoyable course. Chris and the team managed the programme incredibly well and the range of presenters ensured that there was something for everyone no matter what sort of business you have. It was great to meet fellow entrepreneurs at various stages of their own journeys and share knowledge, experience and advice. Finally, the meet the founder's section was the icing on the cake and very inspiring....I hope to be invited back as one very soon."
