​At MorePeople, we're passionate about helping businesses grow by finding and developing exceptional talent. That's why we're pleased to share that our CEO, Andrew, has successfully completed the prestigious Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses UK programme.

Delivered in partnership with Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, the programme is one of the UK's leading executive education initiatives for leaders of high-growth businesses. Designed specifically for established organisations with ambitious growth plans, the programme brings together a select cohort of business owners and senior decision-makers for over 100 hours of practical learning, mentoring and peer collaboration.

Admission to the programme is highly competitive, with participants required to demonstrate a proven track record of growth, alongside meeting strict criteria around turnover, employee numbers and trading history. This ensures that the programme focuses on helping established businesses accelerate their growth rather than supporting early-stage ventures.

Throughout the programme, participants develop a comprehensive Business Growth Plan tailored to their organisation, supported by expert faculty, experienced mentors and a network of fellow business leaders from a wide range of industries.

For Andrew, the experience provided an opportunity to challenge existing thinking, refine strategic priorities and gain fresh perspectives on scaling a successful business.

"The programme gave me the opportunity to step back from the day-to-day running of the business and focus on our long-term strategy. The combination of practical learning, external challenge and collaboration with other business leaders has been incredibly valuable. The Business Growth Plan we've developed will help guide the next phase of MorePeople's growth and ensure we're making decisions based on clear objectives and data-driven insights."

What Does This Mean for MorePeople?

The insights gained through the Goldman Sachs programme will help shape our future growth strategy, enabling us to continue investing in our people, enhancing our services and delivering even greater value to clients and candidates.

The programme has also connected Andrew with a powerful network of ambitious business leaders facing many of the same challenges and opportunities as MorePeople. These relationships and shared experiences provide valuable perspectives that will support continued innovation and development across the business.

Most importantly, the programme reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement. As the industries we serve continue to evolve, we're committed to evolving with them - ensuring that MorePeople remains the trusted recruitment partner of choice for businesses across food, fresh produce, horticulture and agriculture.
