As Head of Enterprise at Forward Trust, my role is to manage our Enterprise Support Services to people who are interested in setting up their own business and who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, including ex-offenders, recovering addicts, long term unemployed, people with phyiscal and mental disabilities. This support is provided free of charge and we also provide micro-grants of up to £1000, ( subject to availability of funds) for start up businesses to help them grow and become sustainable.  In addition, I also manage our two social enterprises wholly owned by Forward. 1- Blue Sky Services - Blue Sky Services is a social enterprise that provides grounds maintenance services to customers in the voluntary and private sector, local authorities and social landlords. Blue Sky Services supports our commitment to directly employ people with lived experience of offending and addiction. 2- Amenity Landscaping- Amenity Landscaping was acquired by Forward in the summer of 2022. We provide high quality domestic and commercial garden maintenance services in North London and Herts including landscaping projects such as decking, fencing, patio's and garden designs and overhaul.
