Calum Clark
Ex Saracens RFC
Engaging, energising, and easy. The programme provided exactly what I needed to guide my thinking and actions. The relationship we built was strong enough to challenge me when I needed it, whilst also encouraging me to keep moving forward in the face of the challenges that come with getting business advice and expertise that comes from experience.
Jess Tappin
Ex England and Team GB
We wanted build a business for engaged couples working towards their wedding day from a fitness and wellness perspective but didn't know how to start. The course gave us the knowledge, confidence and direction we needed. We were able to condense all our ideas down into a focused business model that we have now launched.
Dom Morris
Ex Saracens RFC
We had no idea how to start our business before the course. It enabled us to streamline our vision. But, it wasn't just about learning and advice, it was the momentum and energy that got us to the point of launch. It's also been really good fun meeting other people. We now feel confident that we can put our best foot forward with our startup.
