Boost is Lancashire’s Business Growth Hub. It is led by the Lancashire Local Enterprise Partnership and Lancashire County Council and supported by funding from the European Regional Development Fund.

Andrew Henderson, of Forward Thinking, said: “The programme applies practical psychology to merge the process of growing a business with personal development for the business owner. It is focused on where you want to be in the future: increased revenue, profits and new customer wins.”

The coaching programme comes with a range of tools including a business map and programme guide to help companies continue to benefit after the training sessions.
