CPD: Professional Development

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) with Hargreaves Marketing

Unlock Potential, Build Capabilities, and Drive Business Growth

At Hargreaves Marketing, we believe that true growth—both for individuals and businesses—comes from continuing professional development that is practical, engaging, and results-driven. Our CPD programs don’t just tick a training box; they create visible capability gains at the individual, functional, and company levels.

Based in Blackburn, and supporting businesses across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and the wider North West, we help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) develop structured CPD programs that:

✅ Attract, retain, and develop talent to create future managers and leaders

✅ Provide hands-on, experiential learning that delivers real-world impact
✅ Engage and motivate employees, ensuring they feel valued and invested in
✅ Encourage cross-functional collaboration to drive strategic initiatives

Experiential Learning: A Smarter Way to Develop Talent

Unlike expensive, off-site workshops where attendees often disengage, our approach is hands-on, in-business, and action-focused. Participants develop by doing, applying their learning to real-world challenges, and reflecting on their progress.

Confidence & Motivation Boost – Employees feel valued, inspired, and ready to step up.
Strategic Impact – CPD participants contribute to cross-functional projects that align with business objectives.
Competitive Yet Supportive Environment – Colleagues push each other to excel while sharing knowledge and successes.
Real Business Outcomes – Individuals develop skills that directly impact revenue, customer engagement, and market growth.
