Two of Sussex’s thriving small businesses will be helping other companies to grow by sharing their tips for success.
Christian Publishing and Outreach, of Garcia Road, Worthing and World of Books, of Woods Way, Goring, are among 100 companies being enlisted to share their stories and provide advice to other businesses through a new online service developed by Royal Mail to create tailored growth packs for businesses.
A specially designed website asks businesses to fill in a short questionnaire and analyses the information to create the free growth packs, which will contain advice, recommendations and inspiring case studies from other companies of a similar size.
Advice provided ranges from information on finding new customers and keeping existing ones as well as ways of saving time and money.
Christian Publishing and Outreach mailing and despatch manger Andy Donald said: “We have benefited enormously from the right advice given to us at the right time.
“The mailing element of the business has grown substantially. We are currently mailing in excess of two million magazines a year and our annual turnover is £3.5 million."
The online service is part of Royal Mail’s nationwide Partner for Growth campaign, celebrating success and supporting growth among the UK’s 4.4 million small and medium sized businesses.
