“Thank you for both the slides and yesterday’s workshop. It has given my fellow board members lots to think about and it has brought home to roost how real this all is!! Let’s hope they start to take it all on board and put it into practice. Over the next few weeks we will be trying to put the finance sub-group together. Once we have managed to do this Peter or myself will be in touch to try and sort a date for the next workshop.”

“The services that Colin provided were second to none.  He provided advice and assistance in such a way that was simple to understand and educational.  He gave us a clear picture of exactly where the company is financially and what we hope to achieve and gave us lots of advice on how to get there.”

“I initially contacted Just Enterprise with an idea we had to run a small, community car project for our local community.  We had a fair idea there was a need for this project but were unsure how to prove it.  Just Enterprise allocated Colin as our consultant and after an initial meeting with us, he undertook a feasibility study which changed the course of our plans.  Based on the work completed by Colin, we were provided with detailed information proving beyond doubt that there was a need for this service, not only locally but in the wider area.  Colin made sure we got to speak to the right people and based on these meetings we are now linked in with our local GP surgeries and the Head of Planning for the NHS.  Colin linked us with another, very successful community car project that has assisted us in the structure of our project.  Our meetings with the NHS have resulted in our involvement in further discussions exploring the bigger picture of how Community Transport Operators fit into the wider transport needs of the NHS.  Our community car project is due to start within the next few weeks as the small pilot we initially spoke of, but with future possibilities that we never dreamed of.”

“Just wanted to get in touch to say thank you for all of your support and guidance whilst we drafted and submitted our claim for the ERC/ERDF Business Company Growth Grant.  Your practical assistance as well as general advice really helped us and gave us the confidence to apply for the grant which has helped our business move forward to the next stage.

Thanks again for all your efforts and we look forward to speaking to you again in the future when we will no doubt need more advice!”

“…[we were looking] to reduce our accounting costs and receive a faster service. Colin delivered reduced costs and a prompt service… It is now easy to keep accounts up to date.”
