A unique opportunity…

…to spend a week with up to 12 other successful business owners exploring ideas for the future growth and development of your business whilst being immersed in the stunningly beautiful French Alps, skiing, hiking or just relaxing.

  • disruption and innovation
  • taking a business global
  • attracting and retaining talent
  • building a great leadership team
  • buying and selling businesses
  • making the most of global trends
  • financing faster growth
  • the risks and opportunities of AI
  • maximising personal effectiveness, &
  • tactics to have your best business and best life!

Attendees will be given the opportunity to present their biggest opportunity or challenge and have the rest of the group brainstorm ideas for them.

In addition, there will be almost unlimited opportunities to talk with other attendees and business experts, either 1:1 or as a group, during the course of the week.

  • Like-Minded People

    The attendees will consist of a small but highly qualified group of business owners, all successful and ambitious. Opportunities to learn from each other are endless, both in formal and informal settings.

  • Thought Provoking group sessions

    Facilitated business discussions with other attendees on a variety of subjects; subjects chosen with input from all attendees reflecting topical issues and current trends in the business world.

  • Magnificent Surroundings

    Whether it’s the mountain air or the après-ski, our past experience running this event shows that the breathtaking scenery of the Alps is an environment which is very conducive to expand the mind and think outside the box.

  • Highly Experienced Facilitator

    Running the event and facilitating the group sessions will be successful entrepreneur, executive coach and author Andrew Laurie. For more on Andrew’s background, click here.

  • Superior Hospitality

    You’ll be extremely well looked after by a team of staff at the chalet, who will prepare you a full breakfast in the morning, afternoon tea for when you come back from the slopes, and champagne & canapes followed by a 3 course dinner every evening.

  • Outstanding Venue

    You’ll be staying in a private chalet fully equipped with hot tubs on the terrace, sauna, indoor swimming pool, great views and plenty of comfortable sofas, located in the beautiful village of Val d’Isère.

  • Paradise for skiers... and non-skiers

    Val d’Isere is considered by many to be the best ski resort in the world and both novices and experts will have a ball exploring the mountains.  For the non-skiers, your days can be spent wandering through the beautiful village, taking a chairlift up to mountaintop restaurants for lunch or simply relaxing in the chalet.

What previous attendees say

“The learnings were vast…Being around people that are really “killing it” has fuelled a fire to go and achieve more.  I couldn’t ask for more – it was a transformational experience. Spend a week surrounded by an abundance of ‘good things’, talking business with positive winning people and your life will be better.”

Stephen O’SullivanOwner, Chairman & CEO, Trent Driving School

“”So many highlights! A great combination of formal and informal discussions, and the caliber of attendees made it an amazing week.”

Dane EldridgeFounder & Non-Executive Chairman, 4mation Technologies & Already Built

“The week in Val d’Isere was exceptional and other than brilliant skiing/ boarding and the outstanding venue I found the time spent with the crew that attended very inspiring.  I honestly thought it couldn’t have been any better.  There was plenty of time to really talk to business with each of the individuals who attended without it all being about work, hence very honest and non-guarded information.”

Eric MayaFounder, IP Solutions International

“Massive thanks again for the amazing week.  Inspiring stuff.  Had a cracking time – in no small part due to the calibre of the people on the trip.”

Nick TolleyFounder and CEO, Taylor Street Baristas

“While totally different to anything I’ve done before, it was one of the most memorable, inspiring and valuable events I’ve been a part of.  Can I book in for the next 10 years now?!”

Doug McConnellFounder, Ascent Consulting Engineers

“Amazing location, world-class accommodation and facilities, well-organized, and shared with a group of enthusiastic, like-minded business owners determined to ‘get ahead’. The perfect mix of business and pleasure – you’d be mad not to attend!”

Paul QuinnFounder, Quinntessential Marketing

Seriously don’t change anything, the format, the content, the people were perfect.  This was better than a YPO event.  You have created something unique, keep on doing this” 2025

“That was certainly the best BGW yet! The curation of people was perfect, both Rach and I got a lot out of the conversations we had on the lifts, in the chalet, at the workshops, and of course 1:1 with you.” 2026

Roger BurgessFounder, Cloudwerx
