Events / Lunch & Learn: Partnership to scale more profitably

Partnership to scale more profitably

22nd September 2026

09:00 - 14:00

Mandolay Bay Hotel, London & York Rooms, 36-40 London Road, Guildford Surrey GU1 2AE

Fractional leadership solutions, peer networks and partner ecosystems are helping ambitious SMEs to scale more profitably; but how can busy business leaders capitalise on the partnership model of growth to access the right help at the right time?

According to the Scale Up Institute’s 2025 Annual Report, access to leadership, talent & finance are the biggest barriers to growth. Fractional solutions and strategic partners are making all three more affordable and accessible. Research from Texas Tech University also found that 82% of B2B buyers rely on networks for recommendation, so referral strategies are a vital growth driver.

This Forum will present insights on how to unlock growth, increase profitability, and create value with partners and referrals from experts in Liberti Club’s network.

Join this interactive half-day event designed around your biggest challenges and growth opportunities. Expert panels & roundtable discussions will provide insight & advice on…

 

  • Maximising partners & networks with the right referral strategy
  • Optimising cashflow, funding & investment for more profitable growth
  • Building leadership capability for investment, scale and M&A
