We all work collaboratively, so whether you require advice for a specific business challenge or a broader review of your business we will work with you to meet your needs.

Our value

We believe that delivering value for money is key to a successful relationship with all of our clients. Having access to experienced business leaders as and when you need them, without the burden of committed overheads is an advantage that more and more business leaders are realising.

We pride ourselves on offering value for money in everything we do and thereby create enormous value for our client organisations.

We all know that feeling when you walk into a traditional agency, with its city centre offices, hordes of receptionists and the grand flower arrangements and artwork on the walls. Someone is paying for all of this – You!

At the Sussex Collaborative we have no water features, no artwork, no receptionists and not even offices. Instead we focus our time and attention on keeping overheads low and creating value for you. Our flexible network of experts allows you to tap into a wide range of resources to match your requirements perfectly. We don’t then add in a layer of account managers employed to make you feel important by making your coffee.

We sell expertise and advice – not products or packages. Every engagement with The Sussex Collaborative will be tailored uniquely to match your requirements. Therefore, you secure only the support you need and don’t pay for anything else.

We believe in the principal of “pay it forward” and over the course of each year, will be running a series of free to attend training workshops for local business leaders, covering topics such as Creating an effective Business growth plan, Transforming sales teams and Strategic Marketing activity.

Providing value, building trust and delivering quality, are how we ensure that we create a mutually beneficial relationship with our clients and members – and thereby ensure the future success of The Sussex Collaborative.
