Partners

Would you like to co-host a session?

Rostone runs these sessions with partners whose expertise matters to the same owners: accountants, lenders and commercial finance, M&A advisers, insurers, and the software and service firms that installation businesses rely on. A good co-host brings a view that owners rarely hear first-hand.

Who attends

Owners, managing directors and senior managers of established HVAC, renewables and electrical contracting companies, typically with £1M to £50M turnover.

How a session works

  • Live online, 45 minutes, with time for questions
  • One topic, worked through live, with your own segment of around 10 minutes
  • How things work, not advice to any one business

What co-hosts get

  • Your name, firm and logo on this page, the Eventbrite listing and the invitations
  • A segment built around your expertise, in front of the owners you want to reach
  • An introduction to attendees who choose to hear from you
  • The recording and slides to use in your own marketing

How to get involved

  1. Send an enquiry with the topic you have in mind
  2. Agree the topic, date and your segment on a short call
  3. Promote it together, then run it live

How do I become a co-host?

Use the co-host enquiry form on this page, saying which topic you have in mind. A short call follows to agree the topic, date and your segment.

Where does your business stand today?

The Deal Ready Scorecard uses the same value drivers covered in these sessions. It takes a few minutes and shows where your business is strong and where value is leaking.
