Drive The Collaborative Network

Drive, the Collaborative Network supports entrepreneurs who want to grow a successful, profitable business and learn from and with a peer group. Our community of business owners know exactly what the challenges are and how to overcome them and they share their expertise in structured, personalised programmes that help each other succeed. You probably started a business to do what you love and then realise you also need to know about managing finances, marketing, IT and much, much more – and you can’t do it all on your own. Even making simple decisions is easier when you’ve got a team of supporters around you that you can call on at any time! The founder of Drive, Ann Hawkins, has over 25 years’ experience of helping small businesses to succeed (check out her book New Business, Next Steps) and she knows that bringing the right people together to share expertise is the most powerful way to deliver on-going learning and support. Drive members includes people with expertise in systems, branding, business planning, finance, marketing, web site design, social media, and every aspect of business you can think of! We share this expertise with our members in our community forums and in personalised programmes and include individual mentoring and accountability to make sure everyone reaches their goals.
