Business Accelerator

Join us for the next of these popular breakfast events where Elaine Flowers, Head of Educational Partnerships and Lifelong Learning at The University of Cumbria will guide us through the recent developments in Apprenticeship training and funding. Our in-house experts will discuss the findings of our recent Family Business Survey and reveal some autumn statement predictions.

This is the third in the series of these popular seminars and the final one in 2016.  Business Accelerators are designed to update Business Owners and Financial Directors on topical accounting, business and tax matters.  We also provide a forum for you to meet people in similar roles, creating a network to share ideas.
