Manchester’s In Touch Networks to help businesses grow with latest venture

Manchester tech firm In Touch Networks has launched a new venture to put businesses in touch with consultants and experienced directors.

BusinessTransformation.com is free to use for companies seeking solutions to challenges and offers guidance through its network of business leaders.

The site works by matching firms to people with experience in the area with which they need help, from market expertise or a sector focus to traversing a particular growth period.

Businesses can also post job adverts for free as they try to attract new talent.

In Touch Networks was launched in 2013 and today boasts 125k members across several networks, including WomenDirectors.com, NonExecutiveDirectors.com and TheConsultantHub.com.

The firm’s CEO, Matt Roberts, said: “As we expanded our relationships with business who have used our networks to recruit non-executive directors and consultants, it struck us that while businesses all face their own very unique challenges, our members had pockets of expertise that would prove very relevant and valuable to organisations.

“We created BusinessTransformation.com as a platform where specific problems could be solved by one of our bank of business experts who has the precise relevant experience.”

He added: “We undertook a great deal of research in the planning stages, looking into what is holding business owners back and preventing them from taking the next step on the ladder of growth.”

Speaking further, Matt said the main themes highlighted in the research were lack of a mentor, costly recruitment fees and time pressures.

He continued: “Whether companies are just missing a single piece of the puzzle, or need a whole plan of action, they can come to BusinessTransformation.com for a tailored and person-centred solution.”
