Chadwicks Masterclass - The Sounding Board

Building the Team Behind You

7 July 2027, 4pm - 6pm, In person

The Enterprise Centre, UEA, Norwich, NR4 7TJ

Exclusively for company directors, business owners and entrepreneurs who want to reflect and plan with purpose.

For business leaders who like to think out loud. In small, closed groups, you’ll test ideas and gain perspective alongside peers who understand the challenges you face.

These sessions are part of our Value Acceleration Programme, which helps owners build a more valuable business that relies less on them and is ready for whatever comes next. Each session focuses on one of the programme’s five pillars: Quality of Earnings, Owner Dependence, Strength of the Management Team, Innovation Culture, and Governance & Decision-Making.

This session: Strength of the Management Team
A strong management team is one of the most valuable assets a business can have. It gives buyers, investors and successors confidence that the business can keep performing and growing, whatever changes lie ahead. It also gives you the freedom to focus on what matters most, or to step back when the time is right.

Join us on Wednesday 7th July for time away from the day-to-day as we explore how to build and develop a team that can lead your business forward.

We’ll look at:

• What buyers and investors look for in a management team, and why it affects value
• Identifying gaps in skills, experience and leadership across your business
• Developing, empowering and keeping your key people
• Practical steps to build a team that takes ownership and drives results

You’ll hear from a guest speaker who has helped businesses build strong leadership teams, and from fellow business owners who have faced similar challenges. Bring your own questions. The conversation is open, and the best insights often come from the group.

Led by our team, each session blends professional insight with peer-to-peer exchange. From refining your focus to designing your exit, you’ll learn what successful owners do to create lasting value and enjoy the rewards of their work.

As a learning organisation, we’re passionate about sharing knowledge. We create an environment that feels energising rather than overwhelming, and that nurtures curiosity and connection among like-minded people.
