Suffolk Businesses Invited to Build Skills and Confidence with Free Growth Hub Workshops

Suffolk businesses can access a range of free workshops and one-to-one coaching opportunities designed to boost skills, resilience, and visibility — courtesy of the Suffolk team at the New Anglia Growth Hub.

The programme brings together a series of practical, no-jargon sessions aimed at owners, teams, sole traders, freelancers, and charities across the county. Each workshop focuses on helping local enterprises grow stronger, communicate better, and plan more confidently for the future.

Digital Marketing and Visibility

In November, the Growth Hub’s popular Google Business Profile Workshop (Nov 13) will guide businesses through optimising their online listings to attract more customers and improve search rankings.

A week later, the Instagram & Threads Workshop (Nov 20) will help participants understand how to combine visual and conversational content to tell their story online, reach new audiences, and build stronger engagement.

Business Resilience and Strategy

Alongside these group sessions, the Growth Hub is offering tailored 1:1 coaching to support businesses in key areas such as cashflow, sales forecasting, staff retention, and marketing strategy. The aim is to help Suffolk enterprises strengthen their foundations and prepare for sustainable growth in 2026.

Media Engagement and Storytelling

Looking ahead to early 2026, the Media Engagement for Business workshop will give attendees the confidence to handle press opportunities, write compelling news stories, and secure valuable media coverage. The session will also teach participants how to build relationships with journalists and pitch their stories effectively.

Networking and Brand Building

In January, the LinkedIn Mastery workshop will help professionals develop their personal brand, expand their networks, and use content strategically to showcase expertise. Participants will also learn how to make the most of LinkedIn analytics to guide future growth.

“We know that small businesses are the heartbeat of Suffolk’s economy,” said a spokesperson for the Growth Hub. “Our aim is to provide simple, actionable support that helps them adapt, promote, and thrive — whether that’s online, in the media, or through smarter business planning.”

Each session is free to attend, but advance registration is required, and all participants must be based in Suffolk, UK.
