We’re proud of the support we give our customers, but don’t just take our word for it! Here are just a few of the comments from people we’ve helped to set up in business across the region:
"I will always hold the last six years of my working life at North East Suffolk Business Centre as the most memorable and happiest. My gratitude to all the [NWES] staff for the efficient and happy manner in dealing with the day to day running of the centre, nothing has ever been too much trouble!”
- Gary May, retired clock repairer
“Mrs White is fabulous......she was so helpful and able to relate things to my business”
- Joanne Stevenson MFHP
"The staff at Beacon Innovation Centre are friendly, helpful, very informative and professional. Nothing seems too much trouble for them when dealing with their clients requirements and requests. The conference facility is modern, comfortable and very clean and comes equipped with all that is needed for businesses to undertake conferences, private meetings or training. I have and will continue to recommend this facility to my business associates."
"The conference room at OrbisEnergy was the perfect size and layout for our needs. Our thanks to Lauren who was very helpful and accommodating and even found us a photographer at short notice when ours was unable to attend at short notice!"
- Jackie Fairweather, Suffolk Children's University
"Apart from having great staff, your company is one in a million. Thanks for all your help."
- Omolara Lawrence
"I would like to say a big thank you to Marilyn Reeves, Administration Co-ordinator at Leiston Enterprise Centre for taking an interest in myself and my business and for introducing me to useful contacts such as Nick Boulter from Ipswich Community Radio. Many thanks."
- Vivian Fox, Suffolk Scribe
"I have had and continue to have the pleasure of dealing with business adviser Martyn Owens. He is extremely helpful and supportive, very knowledgeable, and is always approachable - answering what at times must seem like the most mundane and ridiculous questions in a positive manner. What I particularly appreciate is the fact that he tells me what I need to know - and not what I want to hear. In other words he is realistic and honest with his answers. He is very focused on providing good, solid and realistic information and guidance, and I take heed of what he says, and would hope that even once I get a contract and start my business I can look forward to his ongoing support."
- Bob Allum, Sole Trader
"I wanted to send you this email as a thank you for all your help. Your 5 day Best Start course enabled me to put together a good enough business plan to win financing under the EFG (Enterprise Finance Guarantee) Scheme. Banks are still reluctant to sign up to EFG but with your help I secured enough funding to launch Ad On A Bumper nationally."
- Kelsey Stone, Ad On A Bumper
"I am so grateful. You are a wonderful organisation that is truly changing lives."
- Hayley Draper, The Window coffee shop
"Thanks to NWES my business has got off to a great start."
- Leszek Zegan, Leszek's Driving School
"The trainer was fabulous, the [Women's Enterprise Coaching] course was in-depth and hands-on, and the location was excellent."
- Minette Capper, Candii Clouds
"I just wanted to thank all your team for the help and support you have given me over the last few months. The 'Best Start' course and numerous other shorter courses that I attended have brought absolute clarity to what at first seemed a very confusing and murky road ahead to start and run my own business."
- Danny Snelling, Pink Connect (Norfolk) Ltd
"NWES has given me so much help getting set up as a business, and without their input and support I wouldn't be on the journey I'm now on. I'm really looking forward to what the future holds."
- Benjamin Piper, Benjamin Piper Photography
