Business Navigator Scheme helps Man Friday focus on growth

James Forbes is well aware that getting bogged down in administrative tasks can stop you from focusing on developing your business. James founded Man Friday, a virtual assistant service, in January this year, bringing twenty years of administrative and travel management experience to the table. He is at the start of his business journey, and wants to focus his attention on the next phase of growth. With the Navigator Scheme’s guidance, he’s doing just that.

Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce has joined forces with Worthing & Adur and Chichester Chambers to offer this free service, which signposts local businesses towards grants, funding and guidance available locally or nationally. The project is supported by the Regional Growth Fund and managed by Coast to Capital and delivered on behalf of the Greater Brighton City Region. Since the project launched in July 2014, Brighton & Hove area Business Support Navigator Laura Evans has been helping businesses across the area.

With Laura’s help, and the guidance provided through the Navigator scheme, James has access to the resources he needs to move to the next phase of growth. He says, “Having someone help you do the tasks you don’t enjoy will free you to focus and grow. The Business Navigator Scheme is helping my business do just that.”

No matter where you are on your business journey, the Navigator Scheme can provide valuable guidance. Get in touch today!
