The BOSS Toolkit

In the fast-paced business world, achieving sustainable growth & success is often a complex challenge. Many entrepreneurs turn to one-size-fits-all, outdated accelerator programs for the answer, which can often be time-consuming & in our experience, rather underwhelming.

The Business Operating System For Success is Mill Street’s FREE self-driven business toolkit, designed by an entrepreneur for entrepreneurs, with a bit of help from Warwickshire County Council.

To develop BOSS, we have pinpointed 4 of the most common challenges that leaders encounter and have created a toolkit to address these issues head-on

Answer 25 questions and receive easy-to-read visual results and an instant report outlining suggested areas for improvement. 

We’ve put together a pool of local business specialists and industry experts to offer support, mentoring, workshops and consultancy.

Whether you need help with brand positioning, scaling a team, leading with strength and emotional intelligence, accelerating and exiting or implementing a business model, we’ve got experts in every field.

If you want to join an ambitious entrepreneurial community, sign up for the diagnostic tool and take your business to new heights with Mill Street’s BOSS toolkit.

The Mill Street Exchange

The Mill Street Exchange is the result of a collaboration between 1 Mill Street, the University of Warwick, and Warwickshire County Council. 

The Mill Street Exchange aims to help businesses create opportunities and expand their network with expert, tailored support. It does this by making local services more accessible by debunking any jargon and putting you in touch with the right people.

Once a month, the exchange team run a pop-up in the Urban Garden to offer Mill Street members and local business owners free advice and can signpost you towards support in funding, talent and space. 

Since April 2022,  The Mill Street Exchange has helped 180 businesses, and over £676,497 in grant funding has been raised by businesses who have engaged with the Mill Street Exchange since its inception. Twenty local graduates and interns have also been placed with Leamington businesses directly through the exchange.

To learn more about The Mill Street Exchange, visit the team during our drop-in clinic on the first Thursday of every month.

*No booking or appointment is needed.

*Everyone has access to the exchange – you don’t need to be a member to qualify for help or business advice.
