Emma Luddington, Living Well at Home Ltd

"Thank you so much for your time, advice and inspiration yesterday. I have taken it all on board and feel even more excited (if that were possible) about the future for Living Well at Home Ltd. We are incredibly lucky here in Buckinghamshire to have an organisation like Buckinghamshire Business First to support businesses to grow and succeed. I look forward to the next steps!"

Nikki Ferguson, Nikki’s Bountiful Bakery

"The Growth Programme team have been mentoring me for just over a month now and have been quite honestly outstanding in the work they have done through their encouragement, support and proactive nature, which has helped massively with the development and growth of my business.

"In all honesty, when I initially approached Buckinghamshire Business First I felt as though I had tried everything I could with very little success, but with the help and support of Buckinghamshire Business First I now feel as though my business is moving in the right direction. I can't speak highly enough of how beneficial the Growth Programme has been, for both me as a business owner and for the growth of Nikki's Bountiful Bakery. I'm looking forward to what the future has in store."
