Latest News & Updates from Enterprise East

My daughter had a magical party at the Tea Leaf tea room. The theme of Alice in Wonderland was simply magical and the effort and execution provided by the team was fantastic - from the tree with the tea cups on to “Alice” greeting them by the entrance. After being greeted by Alice the children went and sat on beautifully dressed table complete with themed props. The children had their tea and I was impressed by the variety of the food as well as the quality -the children thoroughly enjoyed their tea. After tea the children went on to do some singing whilst the table was set up for an activity. The activity was thoroughly enjoyable for all the children (and adults) who got to make sweetie bouquets. Sam made this great fun and it was also a great alternative to a party bag. The children then went on to play party games before we sang Happy Birthday where the party was the wrapped up. The energy and enthusiasm from the team meant that all the children had a fabulous time and left saying it was the best party ever. Sam made Teghan feel that she had had a very special evening

I would just like to send in my honest review of Enterprise East . I finished a course with these guys today and I have to say I was genuinely upset to leave . Samantha took her time getting to know us personally and supported us with everything from the course itself to just being there to listen if we had a bad day . Everyone actually wanted to see you thrive and it was a really relaxed positive environment to be in . I felt really nervous on my first day but I was made to feel at ease and looked forward to each session . I tried new things that I never would of had the opportunity to do and I gained a qualification giving me something to be proud of . Enterprise East really do just want to help people . Thank you for all the time , effort and funding you all put in . I would recommend the courses 100% .

Good morning Sam thanks for giving Carl the opportunity to work with you, he certainly came out of himself after a shaky start. He is sitting counting his wages and thinking of what to buy. Many Thanks

Enterprise East did a superb job with the training for all candidates, which was evident not only by the trainees themselves but the comments their parents made. I spoke with almost every parent at the event and when asked if their child had enjoyed it every single one had responded with praise of the programme. It’s a testament to Enterprise East, and I know ECL would love to partner with you again should the opportunity arise. Our focus will always be on growth and providing as much opportunity as we can for our customers. Each customer who completed the programme with you now has an even better chance of paid employment and has grown in confidence and skills from the training provided to them by Enterprise East.

Samantha’s support has been a godsend. Being out of work and job hunting is a lonely and isolating experience and Sam’s expertise, warmth, encouragement and confidence building has been invaluable. All of that along with practical help and guidance kept my spirits up and gave me optimism at a time when I needed it the most. I had good days and bad days but Sam was always there to listen and remind me of my goal and to keep me going. I am really grateful and cannot thank her enough and would recommend that anyone who finds themselves in the same position make use of everything that she and Enterprise East has to offer.

Myself and colleagues from the Chelmsford Education, Learning, Skills and Staffing Group attended the Enterprise East Celebration event on September 26th In Great Dunmow. It was an amazing experience where the learners could showcase their newly learnt skills and confidence in a hospitality and events environment. I really enjoyed the afternoon tea and celebrating the learners’ success. The Mocktails were developed by each individual learner and tasted fantastic! It was a very well organised event and I hope that this will lead to further employment opportunities for the learners in the future. It showed that perceived barriers to employment are just that- perceived! Thanks to Sam, Michelle and the rest of the event staff. Well done Enterprise East!

We are delighted to have been working with Enterprise East for some time and cannot recommend them highly enough. Karen and Sam have the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism which is a credit to their organisation. Both demonstrate an expertise in their work, which means that we can feel confident that our event will be delivered successfully. We would happily recommend Enterprise East to any of the organisations we work with.

We have no hesitation in recommending Enterprise East to any company seeking support and business development guidance. We found them to be a highly efficient, professional and enthusiastic organisation.
