Enter your business to win a fully sponsored place on the prestigious high value leadership development programme LEAD.

Kate Goodman, Reserve Wines is a current LEAD delegate and shares her view of the programme. “Being a business owner can be very lonely. Having the discipline of meeting other business owners, once every couple of weeks, means we can really talk and go through issues to solve in our business. I get great feedback from people who are in the same situation, who understand.. for me has been really, really powerful and I am really, really enjoying it. I am developing personally as well as on a business level, which has been a great process for me.”
