How we've helped Made for Life Organics

“In an initial two-hour meeting with Lisa, one of the Skills Connectors, we reflected on how the business had been going and our future aspirations. From this we were clearly able to identify that we needed additional support and training for at least two members of the team in Excel and negotiation skills. With the Skills Hub support, those courses have already been set up and agreed. 

“We also identified that we need additional business administration assistance. Lisa suggested the recruitment of a business administration apprentice as a solution and we are now looking into the options.”

So, would Amanda recommend the Skills Hub to other businesses going through rapid growth?

“When you’re a business owner and juggling masses of stuff, the support provided by the Skills Hub has been really helpful,” Amanda continues. 

“We would have invested quite a bit of time in training but being able to instantly access courses that were readily available and suited our needs has been invaluable. The Skills Hub fast tracked us to get moving.”
