“Participating on the shine programme has been fantastic for my business. I have received great support from my mentor John Hughes.
John has helped me gain a better understanding of my target market and has helped me achieve SMART goals through business development and looking at different business strategies. I would recommend this programme to any small business who is stuck in a rut or new to the market looking for support, guidance and advice”
