What our business partners say

"Entrepreneurs do not make excuses. They make opportunities. They are not hindered by their class, gender, ethnicity or age. 

Manchester Academy has budding entrepreneurs amongst its students and the introduction of E4E enables them to nurture their aspirations and turn their dreams into a reality.

Dreams are not currency. A Bank Manager will invest in enterprising ideas, skills and a solid business plan. E4E provides Manchester Academy students with the tools and the guidance to develop these skills and the courage to create their own future.

I've visited the Academy and was bowled over by the enthusiasm and energy of the pupils. I wish you every success with this project.”

Tom Bloxham, CEO, Urban Splash

"Long gone are the times when education was just the responsibility of the pupil and school/college/university, whichever applies. 

Now local businesses have a big part to play so as to ensure that our future economic climate is protected, by helping to nurture talented young individuals who are striving to achieve ambitions that will one day benefit the overall community and economy.

The E4E initiative is a forward thinking idea that does not require your money [unless you would like to donate a little] but it is looking for a more priceless contribution i.e. you or your company's time, which can be converted to good use in various ways to suit i.e. mentoring workplace experience, etc.

I can confirm from first hand experience that the E4E concept is a super proposal.”
