At Enterprise Oxfordshire, we are committed to providing the right support at the right time. To do that effectively, we need to hear directly from you.
We are currently seeking feedback from the Oxfordshire SME community to help us shape the business support we offer from April 2026 onwards. This is your opportunity to share your views on the support currently available, as well as your specific business challenges and priorities.
There are exactly seven days remaining to contribute your insights before the deadline on Monday, January 20, 2026.
Enterprise Oxfordshire is currently mapping out our support infrastructure for April 2026 and beyond. We want to build a framework that addresses the specific, localised challenges you face every day…from navigating supply chain shifts to finding the right talent.
Why Your Input is Critical Now
The business landscape is evolving rapidly. To ensure that our future funding and resources are allocated effectively, we need raw data from the people on the front lines: you.
We are specifically looking for insights in two key areas:
- Direct Business Support: What are the hurdles stopping you from scaling? What resources would make the biggest difference to your 2026 bottom line?
- The Skills Gap: Our upcoming Skills Bootcamps are being designed to bridge the gap between education and employment. Tell us exactly which skills your workforce is missing so we can train people to fill your specific roles.
The Clock is Ticking
We are exactly seven days away from closing our community consultation. This is not just a “tick-box” exercise; your feedback will directly feed into the development of our upcoming programs.
The deadline for submissions is Monday, January 20, 2026, at 5:00 pm.
Don’t let the support programmes of tomorrow be designed without your input. Take five minutes today to ensure your sector is represented.
Thank you for your time and for helping us build a stronger, more supportive business community in Oxfordshire.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss these topics further, please contact us at [email protected].
