Hear from our Cardiff Alumni:

“The programme challenged me to move from reactive delivery to structured long-term planning, introduced more rigorous KPI tracking and financial oversight, and gave me the confidence to delegate more effectively. As a result, we are now operating with greater focus and stronger commercial clarity.” – Penny Lock, Commercial Director of Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid Wales

“I gained more confidence to take the risk of doubling down on export markets. I went back to my team with new ideas and led from a better place.” – Patrick Dodds, CEO Technical Sales Director at Hexigone Inhibitors Limited (Patrick recently secured £2m of equity and saw export sales grow by 500% following the programme!).
