Our local impact “I wasn’t sure what to expect from my time at the accelerator, but I can say its surpassed all of my expectations. The community has been the best part of it for me, - to find a group of people again on a similar journey was what I was missing. With this programme you have to be in it to win it, constantly observing and listening to what’s going on around you to get the most out of it. Since I’ve been here, I feel the energy has been so much better around my business, giving me the confidence to change things. I’ve had opportunities to pitch and sell at events, plus collaborate with other amazing businesses. So grateful to NatWest - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone!” – Anna, MakeUp54 “The programme helped me feel supported in this otherwise very lonely and tough world of growing a business. It’s great to be in the company of other founders who are going through the same things or have even successfully gone through the things you are getting into. The sessions with the EDMs are brilliant too. It gives you time to pause and reflect on the business and always result to important decisions that change the course of your business for the better.” - Von, Nimble
