Creative Industry Experts
Our business mentors are hand-picked for their track record, experience and understanding of the creative industries. They know the unique challenges faced by creative founders and how to move towards long-term viability. They speak your language and understand your ambition, working with you to build on the fantastic foundations you’ve laid.
This programme is for you if:
- You’re running a creative business with real momentum — but growth feels harder than it should
- Time, cashflow or capacity are constant pressure points
- You’re making big decisions without enough space to think them through
- You want to grow, but not at the expense of your values, creativity or wellbeing
- You're looking for trusted advice from experts who get it, not generic business growth theory
The programme is most suitable for businesses with at least one member of staff on PAYE, an annual turnover of £50,000+ and the ability to travel to central London for in-person events and workshops.
Book a 15-minute discovery call with programme manager Heidi Warwick to see if it’s right for you or register now.

How do I know Re:Create
will help my business?
One of the great things about Re:Create has been access to business mentoring with a mentor that has a background in heritage and arts businesses. Weaving in your creative plans with your business plan in terms of finances, marketing and other collaborative community networking was really helpful
The programme offered exactly what I was looking for; personalised mentoring with experienced business coaches who understand the creative industries, on-demand e-learning packed with practical business skills designed specifically for creatives, and the chance to meet and collaborate in-person with other local creative entrepreneurs and artists. I’m so grateful for the way that Re:Create has had such a tangible impact on my journey
I feel more confident in defining my creative practice between my industry work and creative work. Having ongoing mentorship kept me motivated and on my feet, with more accountability and yearning to keep on track with my goals.
The big change [in the business] is about financial planning, confidence and understanding. I was really flying blind before this programme, but Stuart provided me with insights, a clear understanding and some very useful tools to help me get to grips with the company’s finances, understand where I currently stand and plan for the next year and future years.
