” This is a significant opportunity for businesses and organisations to harness specialist advice on pertinent issues in operating and growing successfully in London's recycling sector “
– Ged Petrie, London CRN
Enhance was funded by the London Development Agency who provided 1.8 million towards the development of the project.
Ged Petrie, London CRN, said: “This is a significant opportunity for businesses and organisations to harness specialist advice on pertinent issues in operating and growing successfully in London's recycling sector.
“Our advisors will be offering people guidance on the essential tools necessary to build or develop their organisation, such as sound business planning, accessing new markets and funding as well as developing marketing strategies,” he added.
Enhance was launched in November and since then it has been in discussions with several companies with a view to joining the scheme. Until now these companies have not been able to officially apply.
