From Circle2Success to C2S: A Decade of Driving Business Growth.
At C2S, we’re dedicated to building a vibrant community of business owners, business professionals, thought leaders, and industry experts across the region.
Our mission is simple: to empower your business with the tools, knowledge, and connections it needs to grow in today’s competitive environment.
Our Growth Story
Over a decade ago, Circle2Success was founded with a bold vision: to empower businesses to grow, connect, and thrive. After successfully navigating the challenges of running a business for over ten years, including the unprecedented disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, we embraced an exciting transformation. Our brand evolution to C2S The Growth Consultancy reflects our renewed commitment to being a dynamic, valuable resource for businesses across the South West and beyond in a rapidly changing world.
Our annual business awards are now the largest in the region, celebrating success and inspiring the business community and our annual educational outreach event, connecting future talent to the world of work, is an innovative, game changining initiative. C2S continues to lead the way on business innovation, new ways of connecting and solving today’s business challanges.
A Legacy of Growth and Connection
For more than 10 years, C2S has been at the forefront of supporting businesses of all sizes—from ambitious SMEs to global giants, and from charities to the public sector. Our mission has always been clear: to create a thriving community where organisations can innovate, forge meaningful connections, and achieve remarkable growth.
We’ve expanded our reach to encompass businesses across the South West, including the Midlands, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Swindon & Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Bristol & Bath, Somerset, Devon & Cornwall, and South Wales. Wherever growth is happening, C2S is there to support it.
