MAD-HR are hosting a practical and informative masterclass series in partnership with Scale Up New Anglia (SUNA) and the team at the New Anglia Growth Hub.
This is a FULLY FUNDED programme to support business owners and leaders who are in the process of scaling up and are based in Norfolk or Suffolk.
Why do you need to attend?
In today’s climate, business leaders must learn how to recruit, select retain and engage the right people. This course will cover the skills required to excel at these tasks, plus tips on how to create direction, gain commitment and really drive results in your business through the process of scaling up.
When and Where?
The Masterclass series will begin with a 4-hour face-to-face session, followed by 2 x 2-hour online sessions, finishing with a 4-hour face-to-face session, whereby the group can reflect on the learning and celebrate the success achieved along the way.

This event is aimed at individuals from engineering and manufacturing companies who are considering adopting collaborative robots – cobots – within their operations. Maybe your company has not particularly considered it before? Or perhaps the benefits of cobots versus robots has not been investigated? During this session you will find out how cobots can help reduce costs, improve quality and help keep your business agile. Incorporating this technology also enables companies to release their greatest asset, their workforce, from low value repetitive tasks to allow time for more rewarding and skilled roles.
Following refreshments on arrival and an overview of the benefits of adopting cobots, attendees will be guided through programming and operating the machines. Working in small groups, there will be plenty of opportunity to practice using the cobots. Invaluable experience and lots of fun too!
The cost of the session is £40, with an early-bird discount of £10 available for bookings made before 15th June. Numbers will be limited to ensure the session is of optimum value to participants. After this overarching taster event, follow-on sessions can be organised with individual businesses, with a greater focus on their particular needs and requirements.
Please get in touch via [email protected] to find our more or book yourself a place. Spaces are limited, and we’re anticipating quite high demand, so don’t delay.’
