Strategies for Business Growth

Our Autumn Masterclasses series explores comprehensive strategies for driving business growth, tailored for organisations aiming for long-term success.

Each will follow a similar format of an initial dive into some of the theory underpinning a particular group of strategies, followed by a guest speaker who has used some of the strategies to build a business before concluding with a general discussion where delegates will be encouraged to explore how they could overcome their barriers to scaling.

This series equips business leaders and professionals with a comprehensive toolkit for driving growth through various strategic approaches. By exploring organic, inorganic, and collaborative growth strategies, participants will gain a well-rounded perspective on how to navigate different growth pathways, each tailored to different business contexts and objectives. Whether focusing on internal resources, leveraging external opportunities, or building strategic partnerships, these presentations provide the insights needed to foster long-term, sustainable growth in today’s competitive landscape.

Organic Growth Strategies:

17th September 2024

The first session focuses on growing a business from within by leveraging existing resources. It covers market penetration, product development, market expansion, and diversification strategies. Through real-world examples and case studies, you'll learn how to innovate and optimize operations to achieve sustainable, organic growth.

Inorganic Growth Strategies:

2nd October 2024

The second presentation examines growth through mergers, acquisitions, and strategic alliances. It highlights the benefits and risks associated with inorganic growth, offering insights into how companies can rapidly expand their market reach, diversify their product lines, and gain new capabilities. Key examples illustrate the importance of due diligence and strategic integration in successful inorganic growth.

Collaborative Growth Strategies:

12th November 2024

The final presentation delves into the power of collaboration for driving growth. It discusses various types of collaborative strategies, including strategic partnerships, co-branding, and innovation through collaboration. The session emphasizes the role of collaborative ecosystems in enhancing resilience and innovation, with case studies that demonstrate how partnerships can create significant value and competitive advantage.


The new format means this series of Masterclasses will have fewer places available. To encourage commitment we are now charging £20 per session. However, we will continue to cover the costs of these sessions and all ticket revenue will be donated to the Norfolk Community Foundation. Refunds will not be given for cancellations or non-attendance but you will feel the warm glow of knowing your money has been spent on helping someone!

We will also be running regular webinars to explain what is happening in the world whenever something interesting, confusing or surprising comes along.

In person or online, we hope to see you soon.

What people have to say about previous events....

Two great presentations - although I'd experienced the business sale process before was good to hear the pitfalls from James again. Richard is always easy to listen to and his delivery is great. James explained each element in a interesting way - could easily have lost people if the delivery had been tedious! Love the idea of the presentations - this one was less interesting to me than the previous one - cake made up for it!

Michael Bayley | Barric Limited

Radostina was marvelous, intelligent and had a lovely presence. Excellent speaker. Both talks were informative and intelligent. There were plenty of takeaways and the peer-to-peer conversation was engaging as well. Also, the cake halfway was a nice touch. I'll do anything for cake.

Rob Morley | Fountain Partnership

Beginning to plan seriously for retirement and being a relative newbie in Norwich, it was refreshing to be introduced to a firm that places great emphasis on technical analysis and thoughtful planning. Too often, in my experience, IFAs are more concerned with style over substance but Chadwicks, through their Masterclass sessions offer real insight into investment management and retirement planning. Whether as a professional adviser or, like myself, someone looking for genuine insight into the changing times of today, I would recommend the sessions wholeheartedly.

Andrew Thorpe | Former Finance and Operations Director | Jarrold Norwich

This was my first event, and I was impressed with how it was operated, the topics covered and the quality of the speakers.

Faith Pearce | MA Partners LLP

Very Informative, with great speakers. Interesting audience engagement as well.

Jordon King | Delta Fire Ltd

Chadwick’s Masterclasses are one of the highlights in my calendar. Clearly, a great deal of thought and preparation goes into them, which results in useful and up-to-date information that helps me plan my personal money matters, develop my business and think more clearly about what to do next in this ever-changing world. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking to improve the management of their finances.

Lindsey Mack | Director

I cannot recommend Chadwick’s Masterclasses too highly nor say enough good things about them. Chadwick’s Masterclasses provide fresh insights and offer practical steps to build, maintain and retain value in businesses. Richard delivers clear and well-thought-out advice while challenging preconceptions. The workshops are thoroughly researched and never turn into sales presentations. I learn something every time I attend.

Paul Palik | Partner | Corporate Team | Birketts LLP

Good choice of presentations, all of interest, good venue ... So many people don't think of the impact of retirement soon enough on both our finances and our wellbeing. All businesses would benefit from having these presentations for those in their late 50's and early 60's to get individuals thinking about what they need to do and what they want to do, to ease themselves into retirement.
