  CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY
  Expert Hour: The Small Business Guide To Finding & Keeping The Right People

  This expert session is designed for small business owners who do not have an HR or recruitment team and want a simple, practical approach to hiring well. Many small businesses learn recruitment through trial and error which often leads to wasted time, frustration and the wrong people joining the team. This workshop breaks it all down into clear, human and manageable steps.

  What we will cover:
  In this 1.5 hour session we will look at:

  • How to define what you actually need before you advertise
  • How to write an advert that attracts the right people
  • How to shortlist effectively without spending hours reading CVs
  • How to run a simple but revealing interview that shows whether the person will be a good fit
  • How to avoid the most common mistakes that cost small businesses time and money
  • How to keep good people once you’ve found them

  Everything is designed with small businesses in mind. No jargon, no complicated models, just clear tools and examples you can use straight away.

  Who it is for:
  Small business owners, founders, managers and anyone who is responsible for hiring or people decisions but does not have formal recruitment training.

  What people will walk away with:
  • A simple step by step roadmap for their next hire
  • Practical templates and questions they can use immediately
  • More confidence in assessing people fairly and consistently
  • Clarity on what “good” looks like when hiring in a small business
  • A better understanding of how to keep the right people once they join

  Date: Wednesday 18th March 
  Time:  9:30am - 11:00am 
  Venue: Worthing College, 1 Sanditon Way, Worthing BN14 9FD
  Free for Members to attend 

  Expert:  Sam Pewsey, People Finding Consultancy 
  "Hi, I’m Sam, and I’m the recruitment consultant behind People Finding Consultancy. I find the right people for the right roles, taking the stress out of recruitment and freeing you up to focus on running your business. With more than 20 years of experience, I’ve immersed myself in every aspect of the recruitment and employment process and have worked with organisations of all sizes, from sole traders to blue-chip companies. People Finding Consultancy isn’t a recruitment agency; I don’t have a list of people to sell you. I work in partnership with you to understand your needs – the role, your company values, your industry – then find you the right person who will add long-term value to your business. My superpower is matching people’s skillsets to roles where they can flourish. From job advert creation right through to final-stage interviews, you can entrust the entire process to me."

  NETWORKING EVENT 
  Networking Breakfast - Flare Audio's Success Story- How a small team in a garage built a global brand 

  We’re delighted to welcome Naomi Roberts, co-founder of Flare Audio, as our keynote speaker.

  What began as a team of three building speakers in a garden garage has grown into a globally recognised audio technology business, shipping to over 186 countries, supported by artists, producers and names like Stephen Fry and Liam Howlett (The Prodigy). Founded in 2007 by Naomi and Davies Roberts, Flare Audio has grown through passion, perseverance and crowdfunding, earning the King’s Award for Innovation in 2025. Naomi shares Flare’s story with rare honesty - the highs, the hard graft and the deeply personal reality of building a business that truly matters. Her talk is inspiring, refreshingly real, and one you’ll find yourself completely absorbed in.

  Here's what one our Peer Group Members said about a recent talk by Naomi:

  "I hung onto her Every. Single. Word. She told the incredible business story of Flare Audio in such an honest and humble way that I was glued to my chair and had to remind myself to close my mouth. She didn't try to gloss over how deeply personal and exhausting it can be to build a business that matters to you, and explained how she achieved celebrity fans just through sharing with them her love and passion for her products. It was, I believe, the best talk from a businessperson I've ever heard. Naomi simply spoke from the heart about how and why they'd built the business, and the ups and downs along the way." - Gina Hollands, Hollands Associates

  CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY
  Masterclass: Finance for the Non-Finance Professional 

  Course details:  The course will aim to breakdown and explain the various aspects of accountancy in business for the non financial person. More often than not business owners are shown a set of company accounts or management accounts and don’t understand what they are looking at let alone, what they are signing off on. We will go through the various key aspects including the Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Management Accounts, Budgets and Cashflows. The aim will be simplify things and explain the terminology so that you feel more comfortable looking at figures.

  Who is it for: Business owners and anyone involved in the financial side of running a business.   

  What will I get out of it? By the end of the seminar you will have a clear understanding of financial statements and hopefully some useful tips to make things easier for you moving forward. You will also get a chance to ask any questions that you may have, no matter how trivial you think it may be. The chances are if you are thinking it, someone else is as well. Feel free to submit any specific items you want covered before the event and we will incorporate it for you.

  

  Who is it by: Laura Clark from Galloways Accounting in Worthing. Laura has worked in accountancy for 13 years after having completed her degree in Accountancy and Finance. Laura is a fully qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and holds her practicing certificate which allows her to fully manage her portfolio of clients.
