WE coordinate freelancers who can implement the ideas you have to grow your business, while you take care of business. The world is changing fast, and the pace of change is continuously increasing. While this has made it easier to start businesses it’s getting increasingly difficult to find time to do everything.

In the past, when faced with resourcing issues, you would just hire more people, but in the current business climate we know that it’s increasingly important to stay agile. Now the solution is to appoint a Skills Hive associate with the specialist knowledge to deliver your project.

Our experienced professionals work closely with you to design a brief that fully reflects your project requirements, before building a collaborative team of freelancers, graduates, and flexible workers with the blend of skills to implement your plan on time and on budget.

We have put together teams to deliver…

• Operational efficiency
Electrical contractors: A growing electrical contractor was worried about operational efficiency, so we reviewed their systems and implemented an integration that allowed their engineers to issue invoices from their mobiles, improving cashflow by over two weeks.

• Marketing resource co-ordination
Consulting firm: An international consulting firm was struggling to co-ordinate resource to deliver their rebrand project on time and on budget. Skills Hive took over the project management, putting in place systems and processes to get things back on track in time for go live.

• Strategic product development
Health and wellbeing: The founders couldn’t see the wood for the trees, despite knowing that the time was right to scale the business. Our team worked closely with them to define the strategy, develop a roadmap, and deliver the 12-month product development plan before handing back to the core team.

Many companies receive advice, some even put together growth plans. But not all get to implement the plans to deliver growth.

Helping businesses to scale
We are all about helping businesses to scale. No matter what sector you are in, what stage you are at, or what barriers seem to be in your way, we can work with you to chunk down the challenges into manageable pieces, where we can deliver valuable progress at a fixed cost.

Business acceleration programme
In October we will be launching The University of Greenwich’s first Business Accelerator programme. If you want to invest three hours a week for eight weeks in growing your business, let me know. You will work with a selection of experts and mentors to produce your own bespoke roadmap to scale your business and a pitch deck to attract the support you need to deliver your plans.
