Start, Adapt and Grow

Designed and led by local entrepreneurs, FEO Ignition is an interactive series of practical workshops to help start-ups get their business off the ground.

Run over six fortnightly sessions, FEO 360 challenges SME owners to enhance their personal skills and attitudes whilst improving overall business performance.

The Step change for growth programme challenges ambitious owners of established businesses to let go to grow in order to take their business to the next level.

FEO Members give their time to mentor and support each other through the ups and downs of running and growing a business. This is an invaluable resource.

When it comes to the future of the private sector, inspiring the next generation is crucial. FEOs NxGen events are presented to students in local schools and colleges by successful entrepreneur role models.

The aim of End Games is to share ideas to gain a better understanding of the different ways businesses can mature overtime. This could include exit, partial sale, building a family legacy to pass on or carry on until you drop!

Many entrepreneurs run out of steam after 10 to 15 years. FEO’s solution to this problem is to find and liberate the entrepreneurial talent within your business, with the business owner giving ambitious individuals the time and support to deliver a key project
