Business Upgrade: A Skills Blueprint Event

Business Upgrade: A Skills Blueprint takes over Charlotte House on Union Road on Friday 13 November, running from 9 am to 4 pm. It's a full day for business owners who've reached that point where they're spending all their time in the day-to-day and need to step back and figure out what the business actually needs next.

The day is built on a few core ideas: that growing a successful company comes down to becoming a better leader, getting a proper grip on the numbers, making stronger decisions and building better systems. It's not a lecture you just sit through; the organisers describe it as a day to be experienced rather than watched, mixing practical workshops and interactive activities with structured networking and expert insights. The aim is to give you the space to actually do the work while you're in the room, rather than just taking notes to deal with later.

One ticket covers everything on the day: access to all the speakers, workshops and panels, refreshments throughout and lunch. There's also a professional photograph with Nicola Auckland included, worth £50 on its own, and a chance to win prizes. If your plans change, you can get a refund up to seven days before the event.

It runs from 9 am to 4 pm at Charlotte House, Union Road, Lincoln, LN1 3BJ, and tickets are £77.
