Participants benefit from a structured development journey, underpinned by dedicated mentoring from top talent, leadership training, business funding and access to comprehensive operational support. As part of the programme, individuals will start as salaried employees whilst building their networks. They will lead and manage projects, work closely with clients, providing expert advice and help to develop and grow teams.

The Pathway to Partner programme is designed to enable professionals to focus on accelerating ambition and entrepreneurial growth. A strategic plan is developed with each individual to build their profile, extend their reach in the market, and provide support in building their own team.

Dow Schofield Watts has a long history of supporting entrepreneurial professionals. Since its inception in 2002, the firm has grown into one of the UK’s most recognisable names in professional services, supporting the launch of more than 25 licensee businesses and completing more than 500 deals worth in excess of £10bn.

As pioneers of a platform-based model in the industry, the firm exists to empower those with the drive to innovate, lead and build lasting legacies. The platform allows ambitious individuals to focus on building their own businesses, whilst providing them with support, from start-up funding to attracting talent, so that they can unlock their growth potential.

Shru Morris, CEO at Dow Schofield Watts, said: “There’s a growing pool of talented professionals who are ready to lead, but are finding themselves constrained by outdated structures and slow progression in larger firms. As a business, we are passionate about helping aspiring entrepreneurs to start and develop their own businesses.

With Pathway to Partner, we’ve built something different: a platform that gives them the support they need without holding them back. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity that will enable the right people to invest in their professional development, accelerate their career progression, fulfil their potential, and thrive”.
