It was during those conversations that the benefits of having the opinions of external likeminded people was discussed and Peer Networks was mentioned. We’d already been working with OxLEP advising start-up businesses on HR issues and delivering some workshops with OxLEP’s Start-up Club. My business partner Regina joined the next group and found it incredibly useful. We immediately thought it would be a great resource: the opportunity to bounce ideas off other business founders and to know you’re not alone in trying to build a business. We were already engaged with OxLEP running a GDPR course for small businesses and it was mentioned by Ant Parsons who runs the programme. How did you find out about the Peer Networks programme? We spoke to Kellie Peters, Data Rockstar & Chief Executive of Databasix UK and Sally White, Director and Co Founder of SYLO | Beyond HR to find out more about their, and their colleagues’ experience of Peer Networks and what benefits there have been for both their companies. There are now well over 200 Oxfordshire businesses that have engaged and its fantastic that the business leaders involved all want to help promote the programme to others.” A result of their participation in the group is collaboration on an exciting new project.Īnt Parsons, Innovation Director at ALP Synergy who runs the programme for OxLEP Business comments “SYLO Beyond HR and Databasix are two exciting and growing Oxfordshire businesses that have really enjoyed and benefitted from the Peer Networks programme. SYLO | Beyond HR and Databasix UK are both Oxfordshire companies that have embraced the Peer Networks programme for their founder members and leadership teams.
