Another chance to plug in to the Tuesday Power Hour

Cornish businesses looking to grow are being offered a free intensive hour of sound and impartial business and training advice that will help them to make effective decisions.

A collaboration between Business Link Devon and Cornwall and the Train to Gain service, the Tuesday Power Hour will be held at three different Cornish locations on Tuesdays in November and January.

Businesses can request a dedicated time-slot or simply drop in from 10am to 4pm when a Train to Gain adviser and a Business Link personal business adviser or business development manager will carry out an organisational needs analysis.

“Businesses have to make decisions daily - sometimes they appear easy, sometimes hard, but the process of making the right decision is one that can be applied to all problems, no matter how complicated,” explained Train to Gain regional skills manager Rhona Hope. “We can help the businesses access the tools they require for effective decision making as well as advise on their training needs and we offer a follow-up appointment if necessary. They will leave the Power Hour with greater focus on their business needs and an agreed action plan that will help them improve the performance of their business.”

The Tuesday Power Hour events follow a successful summer series when those who attended were highly impressed with the level of advice given.

To reserve a slot at the Tuesday Power Hour, phone 08456 047 047 (or email traintogain@bldc.co.uk).
