Jenny at Neon Secure Access, a Design and Manufacturing company in Dorset, took part in the Business Growth Dorset funded Growth Group with Evolve Advisory. 

When Jenny took over the lead at Neon Secure Access after a family handover, it marked a big shift—from being part of the team to running the business. She joined the Evolve Growth Group looking to build her commercial skills, gain a wider perspective, and connect with others in similar shoes. 

The programme covered a mix of areas including strategy, leadership, employee engagement and planning for growth. It offered a space to step back, share challenges, and pick up ideas from a group of like-minded business owners. 

9 months on, both Jenny and the business are in a much stronger place. Turnover is up by 50%—their best year yet—and she’s approaching the future with more confidence and clarity. She’s now far more focused on where the business is going and how to get it there. 

“The group helped me take a step back and look at things differently. It’s made a real difference having that kind of support and input from people who’ve been through similar experiences.” 

Jenny’s story is a great example of how a bit of structure, an alternative perspective, and the right network around you can make all the difference.
