Peer Networks is a national peer-to-peer networking programme for SME leaders that want to grow and develop their organisation for future success.<\/p>\n

The New Anglia Peer to Peer Network programme is delivered through our Growth Hub and will support up to 250 eligible businesses free of charge.<\/p>\n

Around 250 companies will each receive 18 hours of dedicated mentoring support from advisers at New Anglia Growth Hub through the national recovery effort launched by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS).<\/p>\n

From finance and HR to sales, marketing and more, our expert facilitators give you the flexibility to create a trusted support network that works for you. We can help you to build and strengthen your business, improve its overall performance and give you the ability to trade in the \u2018new normal\u2019.<\/p>\n

In the virtual sessions, up to 11 participants will discuss problems their businesses face and how they might attempt to change things in the wake of Covid-19. Delivery will be supported by a common \u2018playbook\u2019 which will include a set of tools for use by facilitators.<\/p>\n

To take part, businesses will have been in operation for a year or more, have a turnover of at least \u00a3100,000 a year and employ five or more people.<\/p>\n

As these networks will continue at least to end March, it is expected they will be useful in preparing SMEs for the end of the transition period to Brexit.<\/p>\n

The scheme will become an extension of Scale Up New Anglia, the Growth Hub\u2019s programme designed to help ambitious\u00a0business\u00a0leaders accelerate their\u00a0business growth\u00a0through a tailored plan of expert support.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Business Productivity Review<\/a>\u00a0found that businesses which adopt formal management practices are more likely to\u00a0achieve\u00a0higher turnover, employment and productivity growth. Those that seek external advice and take up formal training are more likely to improve their performance and evidence suggests Peer Networks can increase labour productivity by 2.5%.<\/p>\n

But although there is a large private sector market for advice and training, SMEs report issues with a lack of awareness of the help available and a lack of trust in the quality of provision.<\/p>\n

The Peer to Peer Network Programme will form a key part of the Government\u2019s response to Covid-19. The aim is to improve capability of SMEs to adapt their business models to the \u201cnew normal\u201d, position themselves for future success and drive longer term productivity gains.<\/p>\n

Jason Middleton, programmes manager for New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, said: \u201cWe know that businesses which receive additional support and training are more likely to grow and this kind of dedicated mentoring will be worth its weight in gold, especially after the impact of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Growth Hub advisers are experienced in working with high-growth SMEs grow through Scale Up New Anglia and this is an opportunity to engage with even more companies and help them move to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
