About the Grow Beyond programme

Grow Beyond is an early stage export programme designed for businesses operating within manufacturing and tradeable services to help them grow sales in the Republic of Ireland (RoI) and Great Britain (GB).

Through interactive group workshops and one-to-one mentoring sessions, the programme includes guidance on:

  • Successfully targeting and researching markets
  • Developing export markets
  • Identifying and managing distribution channels and partners
  • Developing and implementing a robust Trade Action Plan

Cost to participate £400+VAT
 

How can my business benefit from the Grow Beyond programme?

Participating businesspeople will benefit from shared learning and group discussion with both peers and professional trainers and mentors. The programme will also build your confidence and experience in export planning and export plan implementation.

We were selling directly to customers and wanted to grow our sales but were not sure about the best way. Grow Beyond helped us take a new approach to selling our products on a B2B basis via distributors. It provided us with insight into this new route to market, helped us identify potential new customers and enabled us to get better at organising and managing our sales development.

Grow Beyond has been a very useful programme for us.  It’s well structured, well delivered and the mentor provided excellent support to us.
