Hub Member Feedback

Thank you to our dedicated members who’ve given us some wonderful feedback and testimonials for The Director’s Hub.
——————————————————————

The Director’s Hub is a perfect way to fully develop relationships with other like-minded business owners, sharing the highs and yes, the lows of running your own business. The peer to peer networking is an invaluable source of support and collaboration as we negotiate the sometimes choppy waters of small business ownership.

Since joining the Directors Hub I have made great contacts and new friends. I have been able to help others and I have also been helped in the way of knowledge sharing and introductions/recommendations.

Plus I get to hang out with other people walking a similar path to me, and there is great comfort in that.

I’ve been a member of the Director’s Hub for some three years. During that time, I’ve found it both an enjoyable and informative experience in the company of some quality individuals.

The Director’s Hub provides a great opportunity to access peer-to-peer business support, and build relationships with other local business owners. The advice and support, experiences, and best practice we can share with each other are invaluable.

Also, the chance to share, in confidence, our challenges is again of great value – particularly in these uncertain times.

I have no doubt that The Director’s Hub will continue to help me keep my business on track. And – it happens to be a good laugh too!

Running a business is tough – rewarding but tough. Quite often I feel like I am continually chasing my tail and never catching up; complete one task and there are a million others waiting in the wings.

What I never expected from running my own business, (especially when Global OHS first started) was the requirement to become multiskilled and learn to keep all the different parts of the business running smoothly. To illustrate this point, I love the day job, just not quite so much on the invoicing and finance side and I never expected it to be so lonely.

I chose to work hard and long hours but when I started I didn’t understand how lonely it could be and how (unless you have your own business) people just don’t quite get it. This for me was the beauty of the Director’s Hub; it provided a safe and confidential environment for me to discuss my issues with other people who faced the same ones and to help them overcome the ones that I had faced. My business has grown over the last eight years and I am no longer so alone; I have a cracking team behind me but the Director’s Hub still offers me the space to step outside of the business, re-frame and re-think where I want to go both professionally and personally as it taught me it not all just about work.

I highly rate the Director’s Hub and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for more than a sales platform; to put this in some context, I joined nearly every networking club / organisation when I started, desperately searching for that ‘angle’ to generate new business and to succeed. The Directors Hub is the only one I still attend and am a member of, which I think speaks volumes in itself. If you are looking for a high pitched sales networking club, then I doubt this is for you. If, however you are looking to grow, to succeed and develop lasting friendships along the way then you have found what you are looking for.

Since joining the Hub success now looks very different to me and to quote John Wooden;

“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.”

Our door is always open, come on in and find the best version of you.

Worthing Hub

8 months ago

In 2023 we added Worthing to bring the tally to four which is wonderful for the brand as it enables us to reach out to more business owners across Sussex.

Thank you to Wes Atkinson, Adapt Fitness, Janet Webb of Janet Webb Consulting, Jo Stuart of Ayres Consulting Ltd and Sonny for joining the first ever Directors’ Hub at Freedom Works, Worthing.

The peer-to-peer networking group for small business directors is expanding across Sussex to create more opportunities for like-minded entrepreneurs. Aimed firmly at business owners who don’t have a big management team to support them, The Directors’ Hub connects individuals who want to share knowledge and achieve growth.

Founder and entrepreneur Sonny Cutting said: “The Directors’ Hub has grown from a tiny seed of an idea into something which is much-needed and much-supported by small business directors throughout Sussex.

“I’m delighted to announce the new Hubs and intend to open more in 2023. I want to support entrepreneurs who want guidance from those facing similar issues. They can meet in a welcoming environment where they can discuss ideas and let off a bit of business steam.”

Worthing Hub Leader:
Wesley Atkinson, Adapt Fitness

Wesley Atkinson, Adapt Fitness Each hub is an intimate, informal support group with 12 like-minded members who meet once a month to share successes, discuss business issues and learn strategies to help with business growth. At each meeting director’s have the chance to chat and get to know each other followed by a motivational speaker and then a topic for discussion.

There is also a closed WhatsApp group where founders can chat and ask for advice at any time. “We wanted to create something that would provide real value for small businesses, that was unlike other large scale peer-to-peer groups. At The Directors’ Hub you get to know other business owners well, build lasting and meaningful relationships and receive the support larger companies get from their management teams,”
