In an exciting new partnership for 2024 – Nescafé B2B by Nestlé Professional - is giving small and medium businesses, a unique opportunity to win bespoke insight and advice from serial entrepreneur and business guru Deborah Meaden.
Open to small and medium enterprises (SMEs)2, across all industries, the new business programme, Let’s Partner up for Good, will see six lucky businesses win a seat at the table to discuss their business challenges relating to their sustainability journey, workplace wellbeing and business growth with Deborah Meaden and Nescafé B2B business experts.
Nadia Roberts, Brand Manager at Nescafé B2B, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Deborah Meaden to help and support six small businesses, and to share insight and tips with the wider small business community.
“We know that every business is different but there are common themes that all small businesses face. For example, we know that 76% of SMEs believe that having an environmental strategy is good for business and 25% would like their business to be more environmentally friendly. Over a third (35%) of small business owners’ want to learn how to improve their mental health while running a business but don’t feel they have access to the correct resources. And, shockingly, around 7,000 UK businesses are predicted to fail every quarter in 2024.
“Whether it’s understanding what sustainability means for individual SMEs, improving employee wellbeing or boosting growth in the current climate, our aim with this partnership is not only to provide bespoke insight for the six selected businesses, but to create a platform with longevity for learning and sharing for the small business community.”
Deborah Meaden said: “As people know, I’m passionate about running ‘good’ businesses and good will mean different things to different people. There’s no one size fits all. Running a business is a constant stream of challenges to navigate and it can be difficult to know where to turn for support and advice. I’m delighted to work with Nescafé B2B to share my knowledge and experiences with SMEs across the UK.”
The live discussion with Deborah will take place Spring/Summer 2024.
SMEs also have the chance to win a place in the audience to listen as the conversations unfolds and pose their own questions in a live Q&A session with Deborah.
