Many business owners quietly grapple with knowing who to hire next, how to prepare for future demand, or what happens if a key person leaves. This session is designed to take the stress out of that thinking and give you practical tools you can use straight away.

We’ll explore:

• How to predict the people you’ll need as your business grows
• Avoiding last-minute, high-pressure recruitment
• Spotting gaps in your team before they impact performance
• Understanding “right person, right role” in small teams
• Simple planning tools you can take away and use

Everyone attending will also receive a recruitment & retention toolkit to help you map out your next steps!

We’ll also be joined by Lucie Thompson from Worcestershire County Council, who’ll share current trends across local businesses, common pressure points, and the practical support and funding available right now.

Join us at Spetchley Gardens on 28th January, 9:30 to 11:30am, and start 2026 with more clarity, confidence, and practical support.

And yes – there’ll be cake, croissants, and coffee.
