A Week to go Until the Bristol Launch of Inspire Elite – ‘the Scale Up leaders’

Business owners and directors in Bristol have days left to book to attend the launch of Inspire Elite - a new service to support ambitious companies in and around the city.

It offers over 100 hours of teaching designed by leading experts and delivered by Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, Aston University and the University of Leeds. For those who qualify the course is fully funded by the Goldman Sachs Foundation.

Graduates from the “10,000 Small Businesses UK” programme will be attending the event including Nikki Ellison, of Digirank Ltd and Andrew Hunt of Holiday Architects.

They will be joined by Rob Perks, of Inspire Elite, keynote speaker Lily Newman, of Morgan James Consulting, Matthew Hatcher of Nat West, Peter Ball from Smith & Williamson, Andrew Scott of Purplex Marketing, Henrietta Brown, Director of Elite and Nick Welsh, the new head of Elite Bristol.
