More Case Studies
"Both CEIS Business Advisers were fantastic at facilitating our Strategy Development Session, gathering ideas and feedback on from participants on our work and providing a comprehensive report outlining recommendations to take forward."
Margaret Muir - The Croft Visitors Centre @ Barlinnie Prison
"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. "
Sarah Bland - Art Space G41 CIC
"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. "
Jacqueline Croft - GAMH
"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."
The Furniture Project (Stranraer)
"The support from CEIS at all stages of the process was excellent: very friendly and reassuring, and we felt able to trust them, both in what we were able to share with them and in what they fed back to us to help us move forward."
Mary Cuttle - Project Manager at DASH Club
"Nina provided direct support to enable SHAX to move forward with succession planning in light of the Social Enterprise Manager nearing retirement. The suggestions in her paper were relayed to the Board of Trustees and following this, the recruitment process took place and a new Manager confirmed in post. SHAX would like to thank Nina for her support with this process."
Joyce Harkness - Enterprise Manager, SHAX
