We are Growth Space
We help people, teams and organisations thrive.
We believe that every business can be a place where people aspire to work, feel valued, and have opportunities to grow and thrive. At Growth Space, we work with leaders, teams, and growing businesses to create the clarity, connection, and confidence needed to grow, both as individuals, as teams, and as organisations.
We specialise in Team Effectiveness and Team Coaching, Strategy and Culture Facilitation, Away Days and Off-sites, Executive Coaching and Leadership Development.
Whether you’re navigating change, scaling up, or simply want your people to work better together, we’re here to help.
We’re known for our warmth, challenge and ability to get under the surface, creating space for honest conversations, human connection, practical action, and meaningful results.
We have a trusted network of coaches and facilitators across the UK. We work in person and online, and we’re based in Bristol, working with organisations across the UK and beyond.

Our Purpose and Values
We believe
We believe every organisation can be a place where people feel valued, trusted and inspired to grow.
Most of us spend a third of our lives at work, so that time needs to be meaningful and enjoyable. Workplaces can be sources of connection, belonging, meaning and motivation.
We’re here to help create organisations where people feel seen, heard, and energised. Where purpose and strategy are clear, values are lived and everyone has a good reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Our values
Create Meaningful Connections
We treat every person as an individual. We create space for real connection with yourself, with each other, and with the work that matters.
Offer Fresh Perspective
We listen carefully, ask deep questions, challenge gently and help you see things from a new perspective.
Be Practical and Impactful
We keep things simple, human and practical. Everything we do is designed to spark insight and lead to action and results.
We listen deeply. We design with care. We deliver with energy and focus.
Our approach
Every workshop, programme or event is tailored to your needs, your context and your culture. We work in partnership with you every step of the way.
We bring a balance of:
Psychological Safety and challenge so people feel seen, heard, and engaged.
Structured facilitation with the flexibility to adapt to the room.
Real-world business understanding with tools and frameworks from business strategy, coaching psychology and behavioural science.
