Cavendish Enterprise (the trading name of Cavendish Consortium Ltd) is a group made up of six of the largest enterprise agencies across England, together with the National Enterprise Network. Our members are amongst the most prominent not-for-profit enterprise agencies in the country, each with over 30 years\u2019 experience.<\/p>\n<p>All of our members are longstanding agencies within the business support community, and are each respected for their independent and impartial advice and their impeccable probity. Cavendish Enterprise has a reputation for working in close partnership with a variety of organisations from the private, public and third sectors to achieve excellent results in business enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, three of our members, Nwes, NBV, and Enterprise First, have come together to form Enterprise for London, an initiative to deliver the same support and access to finance within the boroughs of Greater London as the consortium members are delivering across the rest of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Through working together we have successfully delivered government initiatives such as the Growth Vouchers scheme and Ready for Business programme, to thousands of businesses in England. The benefits to these businesses have been both financial and supportive, with qualified advice and training from expert business advisors within each region. By providing support and finance, we are proactively helping the economy by creating jobs, and partnerships for the benefit of both the local and wider communities.<\/p>\n<p>Our most recent initiative, Start &amp; Grow, is funded by the Regional Growth Fund and delivers support and training to potential entrepreneurs across England. The programme is available to those looking to start a business which expects to employ people from its early stages and where start-up financing will be required to get the venture off the ground.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidseall.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=580\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-580\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-580\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidseall.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC_7063-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_7063\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidseall.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC_7063-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.davidseall.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC_7063-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m very pleased to have recently been appointed to the Board of the Cavendish Consortium.
