Helping businesses start, survive and thrive

My business involves face to face training and workshops which is now on hold. Even though I understand the need to take my business online, I wouldn't know where to start. I have reached out for some support and Matt took the time to explain at length what are the options and steps I need to take. He was very prompt in giving me support, explained everything patiently and gave me a few possible options to choose from. At the end of the meeting I felt more confident and the future looked brighter. The support and advice I received exceeded my expectations! ​ It's a nice feeling to know that there are people out there helping SME survive this crisis. Thank you Matt!

I’ve been working with SMECofE for 4 months now and Ben and the team have been a breath of fresh air. As the sole operator in my business I’m forced to wear several hats, which many new business owners will know can lead to frustration and delays when trying to move the business forward. Knowing that all our Ojee Golf media channels are being professionally managed by SMECofE it allows me to focus on growing other areas of the business that need my attention. Ben provides me with a clear action plan at the start of every month and follows that up with a thorough end of month summary which highlights all notable activity over all our channels. This easily digestible report helps us to shape our online strategies in order to reach the maximum number of targeted customers. I’ve never been adept at social media marketing but having a presence and the right messaging online is integral to the success of any new business, particularly when product sales are essential to our growth.

From the moment I had 1st contact with the team at the SME Centre of Excellence, I knew that I had met a professional and quality driven service provider. The offices are first rate as is their continued service. They not only provide a service that covers just about every facet of business needs but they do so, with a smile and speed. I would have no hesitation in recommending the SME CofE to any business who need a top quality team to support them.

“I attended the Digital City/SME Centre of Excllence accelerator program and it was outstanding. The quality of the sessions and the scope of the work covered in such a short time was remarkable. The people brought in to facilitate the sessions were experts in their field and made light work of quite complex subject matter. I can't recommend the SME Centre of Excellence enough.“
