Exeter Business Support - Success Stories

“I learned things about business which I had not known, it gave me the confidence that some of the things we were doing as a business were on track. Gave me the opportunity to stand back and receive some expert advice.  

My experience was a very positive one. Graham was very knowledgeable; even though my own business knowledge is scant, at no point did he condescend. He had lots of good ideas and highlighted many issues I had not thought about. Following our meeting, he sent me a very large number of documents, some of which will be useful in the short term, some in the long term. It demonstrated to me that he had really been fully engaged with the issues The Filo Project faces and will face in the future.” 

Liz Dennis, The Filo Project 

“The experience has provided good support and advice thus far, and I hope to benefit from ongoing support in the future as the business develops. The personal advice from Chris has been spot on and I have benefitted from the various conversations we have had regards business experiences.”  

John Preston - 2D Carpet Cleaning
