“They have provided support, mentoring and funding to ensure that my business is able to grow and thrive whilst supporting and giving back to the local economy.
Gail kindly funded a day with a Growth Specialist on the topic of sales, which provided a roadmap of actions for us to roll out. The biggest support however, has been Gail’s extensive network. Whether you’re interested in building a local network, offering apprenticeships, struggling with recruitment or need up-skilling in certain areas, Gail knows the right people and organisations to sign post you towards, saving a lot of time and effort in the process.
Thank you for your ongoing support for local businesses - it really does make a difference.”

“Gail was really helpful and kind, and didn’t make me feel daft for asking questions that have been on my mind for a while but hadn’t asked. Having a face to face meeting was really valuable and enjoyable and I now have some ideas for managing my numbers simply and appropriately for the size of my business. Thanks Gail.”
