We continually offer support to local entrepreneurs with our Start in South Staffs Programme, and one recent success story is Geoff Dooris, who has benefited from a comprehensive range of services. The programme’s detailed approach provides the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve business goals, and the added benefit of one-on-one mentoring sessions ensuring continued progress.
When asked about the support received from the council Geoff said: “I have recently had business startup support from South Staffordshire District Council, they signed me up for one of their start up masterclasses delivered by Good2Great, they took me through all the steps to help me realise my business goals with comprehensive training, expert mentoring, practical advice and guidance giving me the tools & knowledge, all this helped me turn my ideas into reality.
After the initial training I also had the benefit of three separate one hour one to one mentoring sessions that checked on my progress and gave me advice, I was also lucky enough to be approved for the South Staffordshire District Council grant funding which has massively helped me with the startup costs allowing me to buy essential equipment for the business enabling me to support our local community with my garden services."
South Staffordshire Council has awarded Geoff grant funding, which has allowed him to cover essential start-up costs and purchase the equipment needed to grow his business.
