“99% of UK businesses are SMEs — that’s why we lead with Business First.
With the freedom and agility to act, adapt, and lead, we’re creating the conditions for real regeneration and innovation to thrive. Real change doesn’t come from doing more of the same. It comes when we break the pattern - stepping beyond silos, beyond surface-level connections, and into genuine relationships.”
— Jan Foo, CEO & Founder, The Founders Club
