Honoured to be invited by the Omani govt/British Embassy to visit Oman to explain how we set up the Business Growth Hub model in Greater Manchester. Oman want to officially adopt this model throughout their country. Proud moment presenting to Ministers and the British and Omani Ambassadors.

A week of all things tech and scale up. First was the Prolific North Tech Awards where GM Business Growth Hub was up for best use of AI, followed by the Tech Climbers reveal and spending time with our Ascend Scaleup cohort at KPMG’s Christmas get together.

It’s good to have an alternative to LinkedIn. I haven’t used twitter/X for a long time to share what business support activities and impacts are happening in Greater Manchester. Need to get used to writing shorter posts again…..
