Business development consultancy

We help organisations win better work — and build the skills to deliver it.

Corporate Grow partners with commercial and public-sector teams on growth, bids and reporting, and bridges the gap between the skills your organisation needs and the universities that can build the courses to close it.

    Skills audits translated into learning briefs and accredited courses delivered with university partners.

Learning & university partnerships

From a skills gap on the ground to an accredited course

Organisations know where performance falls short; universities know how to build rigorous, accredited learning. We sit between the two and make the handover work.

  1. Stage 01

    Identify the skills gap

    Structured interviews, role analysis and performance data pinpoint where capability is missing inside the organisation.

  2. Stage 02

    Translate it into a learning brief

    Gaps become defined learning outcomes, competency levels, delivery constraints and assessment expectations.

  3. Stage 03

    Partner with accredited universities

    We match the brief to institutions with the right faculty and accreditation, and manage the academic conversation.

  4. Stage 04

    Co-ordinate delivery

    Scheduling, cohort logistics, employer reporting and post-course review, so the learning lands in the workplace.

How we work

A four-step engagement

  1. 01

    Assess

    We review your pipeline, bid history, reporting lines and capability base to establish a factual baseline.

  2. 02

    Plan

    A prioritised plan with owners, timelines and measures — scoped to what your team can realistically absorb.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    We work inside your process: writing, analysing, managing stakeholders and running submissions to deadline.

  4. 04

    Sustain

    Templates, playbooks and training handed over so the capability stays with your organisation after we leave.

Capability statement

An independent consultancy combining commercial bid experience with learning design. We work in small, senior teams, we write everything ourselves, and we stay accountable for the outcome rather than the hours.

Client references, case studies and results are available on request — this page deliberately carries no unverified figures.

Founder of Corporate Grow

About

Built around senior, hands-on delivery

Corporate Grow was founded to give organisations direct access to the kind of business development work that is usually locked inside large firms: careful analysis, clear writing and disciplined bid management, delivered by the people who actually do it.

Alongside that commercial work we build learning programmes with accredited university partners, because most growth constraints turn out to be capability constraints. Every engagement is scoped to leave your team more capable than it was at the start.
