The Construction Leaders Club, an organisation focused on business growth, is planning to run a series of workshops aimed at firms in the sector that wish to become more ‘Brexit ready’. It has created a framework to help businesses leave the fear of Brexit behind and plan for future growth and development. These workshops will take place in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area starting in February. “Small business owners don’t always have the time or resources to effectively lead and manage seismic changes in the marketplace and their business. We are heading into uncharted waters as the UK prepares to leave the European Union, and it’s vital that small and medium-sized businesses do what they can to prepare as much as possible for this,” said Terry O’Mahony who runs CLC. The organisation’s new mission is to help these business leaders and managers to be more confident and not focus on what the Brexit could or could not bring. Terry and Peter Jubb, a business development and marketing consultant, will run the workshops held at Risley HALL Hotel, Risley in Derbyshire, near junction 25 of the M1, starting on the 9th of February. “In just one workshop, we will be offering advice on how to re-engineer businesses, accelerate profitability, reduce exposure to commercial risk and to leveraging every opportunity open to business leaders,” explained Terry. “We welcome small business owners, senior decision makers and leaders who want to develop their business and teams.” The first half of the workshop will run from 9am to noon and it will focus on the importance of being Brexit ready. It will offer guidance to businesses on how to fully understand their situation, how to identify and evaluate the best way forward, and how to create an effective plan. The Construction Leaders Club is believed to be the only business of its kind to be awarded the new Chartered Building Consultancy status. Founded four years ago by Terry O’Mahony, it offers networking and business growth advice to businesses and individuals related to the UK construction industry.
