Our Fellows
Our proven toolsets and approaches developed over the last four years to tackle productive output of individual companies are also proving to be of value as we address the response of individual firms to the current economic crisis. Be the Business is now scaling up its team to reach multiple business sectors and to work in the regions around the UK. There is a small central team of forty people but there is a growing cohort of Fellows – those who give some of their time, bringing contacts and expertise to tackle the challenges that small and medium-sized businesses are facing.
