Since 2014 we have supported over 120,000 young people to start or grow a business by delivering a range of practical entrepreneurship support services, from guiding a young person to register a new business and improving their bookkeeping skills to helping them write a business plan or grow their fledgling business through facilitating access to finance.

  • Health Cash Plan
  • In addition to normal Bank and Public Holidays, you are entitled to 25 days paid holiday per leave year pro rata.
