SCL joins NEESPR!

A post to announce that Souter Consulting Limited has joined the North East Service Provider Register. Quick quote from the e-mail:

Dear Justin,

I am pleased to tell you that you have now achieved Full NEESPR approval. Your NEESPR Pin number is 12640. You may be asked for this pin number in the future by a broker.

NEESPR describes itself as:

… a regional register of service providers that can provide business development solutions to the north east business community. This is the only register being used by all Business Link Brokers to impartially source provision for their clients. Use of the NEESPR is also extending to other business support organisations in the region.

I was having a bit Google search re what others were saying about their membership of NEESPR. So, being in a hurry, and finding that Octopus Media Ltd had summarised the situation rather nicely, I’m quoting them saying that they’re:

[…] an approved supplier on the North East England Service Provider Register (NEESPR). This means we can help you take advantage of government funding which is available for North East businesses, including those based in Tyne & Wear, Northumberland and County Durham.

Applicants to the register are assessed and approved to ensure they are able to provide a high level of service to referred customers. High standards in both customer service and the quality of our work are required to ensure continued inclusion on the NEESPR register.

Funding is available for both start ups and existing business’ and can help pay for web development, web design, brand identity, logo design, print design, marketing, and search engine optimisation.

The availability of funding changes all the time and up to date information can be obtained directly from your local Business Link branch.

Good points, all of them! btw I’ve quoted Octopus & credited them because I’ve seen a couple of different companies who seem to be sharing very similar wordings [but different from the above]. Best pay credit where it’s due… ;-)

So, if you are looking for assistance around
