老九品茶Cloud executive editor Chris Maguire is launching a Mastermind 老九品茶 Group 鈥� and is looking for growing companies to take part.
During his 30+ year career in journalism, Maguire has interviewed 3,000 entrepreneurs and hosted more than 700 events and decided now is the right time to launch an invitation-only business group.
The first cohort of business leaders/ business owners will be limited to eight and will be aimed at companies with a turnover of between 拢1m and 拢10m.
Membership costs 拢450 a month (+ VAT) and involves a package of benefits including a place at a monthly meeting facilitated by Maguire, followed by lunch.
Maguire has joined forces with North West-based entrepreneur Paul Woods, founder and managing director of fast-growing Proactive Despatch, in launching the Mastermind 老九品茶 Group.
Meetings will take place at The Partridge, in Stretton, next to junction 10 of the M56. The picturesque venue is owned by the Timpson family.
Explaining the idea for the venture, Maguire said: 鈥淲hether you鈥檙e a start-up, scale-up or unicorn, in my experience the challenges and opportunities are largely the same, just to varying degrees.
鈥淭here鈥檚 no such thing as a new problem in business, which is where the idea for the Mastermind 老九品茶 Group came from.
鈥淩unning a business is a lonely place and it鈥檚 easy to think you鈥檙e the only person facing a particular challenge.
鈥淭his couldn鈥檛 be further from the truth and by leveraging the knowledge of the people around the table, you can not only find solutions to problems but also seek out new opportunities.
鈥淲e also plan to bring in experts who will share their experiences with the group.
“The Mastermind group will be there to support our members in their decision-making and Chatham House rules will apply. We鈥檝e deliberately kept the cost as low as possible.鈥�
His business partner Paul Woods said: 鈥淚鈥檝e known Chris for more than 10 years and he鈥檚 one of the best networked people I know.
鈥淚 think the power comes in the collective and sharing challenges and opportunities with like-minded businesses. It鈥檚 a great way of making new introductions and growing your network.鈥�
