The help to grow programme at Derby Business School is one of the best staffed in the country. Tutors delivering in the programme range from previous Head of Business Schools, Head of a Professional Management Qualification awarding partner institution, active and previous board members of global corporations, and consultants with many years’ experience in teaching and industry consulting.
Apart from the very high level of teaching, Derby Business School offers a range of support services to H2GM alumni including business diagnostics within the regional business observatory hosted by the University of Derby.
