"Nina at CEIS was great to work with. She was engaging, personable and very approachable. She gave us new avenues to explore which we wouldn’t necessarily have thought of. These ideas will help us in the future to improve the structure of our CIC and develop the business. I hope to work with her again in the future. "

"Claire’s professional support provided through the Just Enterprise programme was invaluable when we tendered for a public contract last year. Claire has vast experience and knowledge of tendering for public contracts and helped us to interrogate the tender and home in the key responses required within each question set. "

"The relationship forged with the CEIS team has enabled our trustees and management group to develop together as a team filled with confidence. This has led to us having robust plans, meaning we are fully prepared for the implementation and growth of our Organisation. We are now able to maximise our impact and see associated benefits for our local rural community, particularly for people requiring our service so they can step out of poverty."
