A great four week programme for small businesses. it really opens your eyes to what you do well, what you can do better and what you didn't even realise that you were not doing.Nick is a very knowledgeable coach with years of business experience.Lets all hope the Government continue to fund such programmes and realise the importance of small businesses to the economy.

Ive had a great experience on the programme as it has allowed me to think more strategically about how to place my services. Jason Scott has been ace during this journey as he was focused on creating a model that works for real. Cant think of how it cold have been improved other than by biscuits! Hard to do when virtual. Nice one Jason!

I cannot recommend Jason Scott enough! I’ve had the privilege of receiving coaching sessions from him, and they’ve been nothing short of invaluable for my entrepreneurial journey. His guidance has been incredibly useful, providing me with tools, strategies, and insights that I can immediately apply to my new business. Not only did Jason help me clarify my vision and set achievable goals, but he also connected me with an amazing network of professionals who I’m sure will be a huge asset to my growth. Jason is not just a coach – he’s a true mentor. His expertise, generosity, and unwavering dedication to seeing me succeed will have a lasting impact. Thank you, Jason!"

I would recommend Good 2 Great to anyone wishing to start a business. Both the Business Foundation Workshop and the three mentoring sessions were most helpful in structuring ones thoughts on ones business and getting a deeper insight into the start up process. The work materials were very professionally presented and the mentoring and delivery by the business advisors was first class.

So far in my new journey into the business world, Good2Great have offered support through the online workshops and resources, along with the 1-2-1 business coach meetings for more personalised and specific support based on where you are in your current business journey. I want to say a special thank you to my 1-2-1 coach Shirley, as she has given me a new outlook on how to approach, and essential factors to consider setting myself up.

I recently completed the Start Up Programme and found it incredibly insightful—even as I head into my third year in business, it was hugely beneficial. Huge thanks to Tamsin Preece for keeping everything well-organized, Sarah Hooper for her engaging presentations, and Dawn Sutton for her valuable 1-1 sessions that helped shape my next steps. The team is fantastic!I run Virtual Golf Hut, offering a fun and immersive golf simulator experience for events and parties, as well as Community Golf Sessions for team-building. Highly recommend this programme!

I recently attended a two day workshop as i'm launching a new business in 2025. The course content was clearly structured and delegates were encouraged to take part in discussions. The workshop materials and access to an online library of resources has been invaluable to me. Following the workshop each business receives 3hrs worth of business support and this has really focused me on my business planning and forecasting. I'd highly recommend working with Good2Great i'm really grateful for the ongoing support i've received from Eddie and Jason.

Cannot thank Michelle and tasmin enough. I had a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve but was stuck putting things into place possibly due to me slightly panicking and over thinking things. I'm really please I took the time to do the 8 week course and then had the 1 2 1 sessions with Michelle as it really gave me the confidence to get my buisness goingThank you so muchLaura Ellis

Jason was a very positive & helpful mentor. Listening well & coming up with tailored ideas for my business from the info he'd received from. Things aren't great for me at this moment yet but I'm a lot more optimistic about the direction I can go now.

I would like to thank you for the work you and your team have been doing with my son since we signed him up to the Good2Great Growth Club a few months ago.He joined the firm in late 2023. Whilst I am doing my best to train him in the arts of running a business I am also aware that a father and son relationship isn’t necessarily the best environment in which to achieve this.Being able to place him in the hands of an external coaching team has been an absolute god send to me, and I am delighted with the progress you have made with him so far. I look forward to the continuing relationship and will also be recommending the programme to anybody I can in a similar position

The coaching support sessions where very helpful as they were practical in terms of really starting a business. I received the needed support from my coach, Mo and was able to come up with a Business Plan which I intend to use for my SME Grants application.Thanks to Good2Great! It has been a worthwhile journey:)

@guardtheftauto - facebook, instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok.Eddie and Tamsin and Jason have been absolutely fantastic. They are highly knowledgeable and patient, but most of all, they have a genuine desire and care for what they do and the people they work with. The workshop was absolutely essential and an eye opener for a full host of business aspects such as marketing, finance and much more. Jason was appointed to me as my 1 to 1 mentor and he has been absolutely fantastic and hands on involved in helping me carve and design aspects of my business and how to best steer it. There is a huge range of professional aftercare and support including resources that are friendly, professional and easy to with the intent of having a good impact. This course is a must and has been incredibly rewarding and inspiring. Well done to all at G2G.

5 stars just isn't enough!A light at the end of the tunnel when I thought I'd exhausted all avenues. This course has been invaluable and marked a pivotal point in my small business.The online group sessions were informative and engaging and offered up a fresh perspective on some tried and tested ideas. 1 hour, once a week was the perfect duration and spacing for a busy Mom with 3 jobs.The one-to-one tutoring sessions are where the course really comes to life on a personal level. Michelle was so incredibly positive and tailored her advice each week to make sure it was very unique and relevant specifically to my business.I really did feel like I'd thrown my all at every opportunity and was still getting nowhere but Michelle put a fresh spin on things, offering new, novel and out of the box ideas and strategies, signposting me to relevant organisations and boosting my confidence.In just 3 x 1 hour sessions I feel we've made more progress than in the last 3 months on my own. You really have made such a difference. I cannot thank you enough!

I was hesitant to sign up to the Good2Great programme as I’m an artist and I wasn’t sure this was the right thing for me. I was wrong! It’s fantastic! The team, resources, modules, networking and mentoring you get access to are all brilliant. I’ve grown in confidence, taken my first tentative steps and set up my art business. I don’t think I would have taken this step if it wasn’t for Carole my business mentor and all the fantastic support I’ve received throughout the programme. I’ve grown in confidence and have a solid plan. Thank you!

A great insightful course which I an thoroughly recommend. The course was professional and well presented. The follow up mentoring is certainly worth taking up and I found it so helpful.

Good to great is brilliant they have gently reminded me of the passion I had in the beginning and kicked me up the bum to get it going. given me targets to set, and new perspectives on things, like marketing that I hadn't considered. Also through their expertise, they have given me the confidence to build something beautiful, profitable and customer centric which was what my business needed, while helping me to fine tune and hone my business admin skills. All of the advisers are really friendly and knowledgeable. I have especially liked working with Ally Benbow and Mark Wakely. if you're reading this and thinking of working with them..do it you wont regeret it.Signed, Samantha owner of The SweetDreams Bakery UK

The Good2Great Business Foundation Workshop has been a really valuable learning experience. My only regret is that i didn’t sign up sooner. The 8 weekly sessions cover every aspect of starting a new business although sometimes constraints of time only allowed for a snapshot approach. My follow up 3 one-to-one mentoring sessions with a business advisor have been the most valuable. Mo helped me make a clear marketing and project plan and her enthusiasm was so encouraging i feel energised to go forward with my business and make it a success.

A very informative and supportive fully funded course for business start ups. Timely reminders and extra snippets of information offered by the course instructors from their personal experiences during the masterclasses and via emails were very helpful and morale boosting.In particular, I found the advice from health and well-being advisor Michelle especially useful, inspiring and definitely an eye opener as to where I need to make improvements going into 2023!The networking has been great too - Love the Friday Hub Zoom.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Good2Great if you are considering starting your own business.

I can't say enough nice things about my mentor Sally, knowledgeable, kind, patient and supportive. Thank you Sally and the Good2Great team.

I found Good2Great through a flourishing small business owner who had used them during her own business transition. It was the best discovery I have made.Both the group sessions and following one-to-ones with Sally have given me enormous confidence and a fantastic foundation of knowledge to proceed with my own plans in the future.Sally has been an incredible support; whilst my plans for my business have been put on hold due to current economic 'wobbliness' Sally has continued to help me shape my plans into a business that will last and backed my decision to wait rather than power ahead. Her knowledge of her locality and various business circles have been a godsend.The Good2Great programme can benefit those who have simply built an idea to those who have a much firmer foundation of their plans.Thank you Sally & Team for your support.
