Business Growth Workshop – Fuelling The Next Stage of Growth

Even thriving businesses can face the risk of stagnation without strategic investment in operations and leadership. This panel will explore the critical decisions that drive business growth to new heights. Join Brett Merriman, CEO of TryCycle Data Systems and recipient of a Fastest Growing Companies award, along with Todd Luckasavitch, CEO of Business Sherpa Group, and GGFL Partner & Head of Assurance, Natalie Evans.
