“Just had to write to say how much we both enjoyed Start-Up Saturday, looking forward to putting all the info to use! We have made a start at overcoming our ‘Techno-phobia’ and have registered with Twitter and now have a fab new Facebook page…We have recommended the course to anyone who will listen (and probably a few who didn’t want to!!) and have been feeling very motivated to get our fledgling company started since the Start-Up Saturday. Thank you so much!”

“Firstly thank you very much for a very enjoyable and informative day. I came away feeling a great buzz of energy and enthusiasm to get going with the business…It was great to meet like minded individuals who are all sharing the same path, and to chat to them and share thoughts and ideas…I definitely have a better idea now of where I need to be directing my time and energy to starting my business.”
