InvestSefton have been really helpful in providing a direction for my business to go in.
When I first started, I had little experience but both Julie and Jamie have provided a vision for me to
focus my business on as well as introducing me to some great events and useful contacts

When you’ve always worked for other people, going self-employed is a wake-up call! I knew what I should be doing, but didn’t have the confidence or methodology to set-to and think through all the brain fog. Jamie Hannaway of InvestSefton has been a massive support and guidance.
We both know that my “gap” is marketing and telling my story, particularly on social media. Jamie has given me the confidence to believe in myself, to have faith, and to know exactly what I should be doing. The fact that he still sometimes has to encourage me some months on, shows that I’m still learning, but more importantly, that Jamie – and InvestSefton – continue to invest their belief in me as a local business.
All the mentoring sessions, guidance, conferences, and workshops via InvestSefton have been free, which is brilliant support for a small business.
- Jane Clare, Owner, One Foot in the Grapes
As a new business we reached out to InvestSefton for support. The support we got from the friendly, expert team helped us focus our plans and gain access to vital funding.
We see them very much as part of our support team going forward
- Mark Carr, Director, Image Surveys Limited
My business advisor, Jamie, got to know me and my business needs pretty well. He was curious as to what I wanted to achieve and helped me with sound advice around marketing and sales, an area that I hadn’t really needed to know prior to setting up my own business.
