Our aim is to secure and retain paid employment for our clients through a personalised approach that is designed to bring a value to both the individual and employer. We recoginise that the employer plays an integral role in the success of our clients employment retention, therefore through our management and consultancy team we dive into the detail behind the key components of supporting someone into employment. We explore and exploit the patterns and themes of the supported employment journey, the different approaches, job retentions and the learning outcomes.

5 Project Management & Consultancy Research & Evidence Gathering Consultation & Engagement Business Development & New Ventures Supporting Entrepreneur Ambitions & Business Start Ups We actively support individuals who wish to explore entrepreneurial and enterprising opportunities rather than traditional employment. We provide the administrative support, training and mentoring required for setting up a business. We also have a number of partners with extensive knowledge and experience within a wide range of sectors. This enables us to offer any additional training that individuals need to underpin their chosen enterprise ideas. Equality & Diversity Business Support and Development We offer a cohort of qualified individuals with a collective knowledge of managing diversity within the workplace. This group of international professionals can support the long term aims and objectives of an organisation when managing their diverse business teams and sustaining culturally competent workplaces. Although every organisation within the UK is governed by equal opportunities legislation, we encourage and inspire employers to understand the real value and benefits of a diverse workforce. We therefore work with organisations to address and understand the underlying objectives of their business and how a diverse workforce can make good business sense. Research, Development and Engagement We believe that research and engagement should be underpinned by transparency and trust. This approach promotes and encourages an inclusive culture which in turn builds positive working relationships. In short, we bring human values to business and believe a healthy people-obsession will lead to a greater understanding. Yes, we walk the talk and all of our business relationships are built on this same ethos. Through our advisory board we actively work with a host of organisations across the globe to share a plethora of learning opportunities, exemplar models and new innovative practices which can be mutually beneficial to all organisations. Tenacity If there s a way to do it better. find it - Thomas Edison

6 Core Principles Person Centred Beliefs & Attitudes Research & Development Person Centered Approach - We provide a holistic approach considering the individuals recreational, social and welfare needs. We recognise that the success of an individuals vocational pathway is rarely a solitary journey and therefore a primary component of our model is key stakeholder inclusion. Our approach draws on valuing an individual s potential and skills that can in turn benefit society. Beliefs and Changing Attitudes - Our ethos is founded on a belief that a supported strategy should not only be credible, fair and transparent but with shared responsibility and commitment of everyone involved. We work diligently to ensure that we walk the talk and encourage and support all our stakeholders to do the same. We recognise and celebrate the uniqueness of both individuals and organisations and seek to provide a tailored experience that aligns with this approach. Our aim is to increase the confidence of all stakeholders, creating an energy and enthusiasm to want to explore potential opportunities for all involved to thrive. Research and Development Pioneers - Central to our work is being open to and proactive in discovering new opportunities and innovative practice, in particular, embracing the possibilities that the ever-changing cultural and technological shifts bring. Kindness How do we change the world? One single act of random kindness at a time. - God: Evan Almighty

7 Core Principles cont d Employer Engagement Collaborative Support Embracing the barriers Employer Engagement - Although every organisation within the UK is governed by equal opportunities legislation, we encourage and inspire employers to understand the real value and benefits of a diverse workforce. There is evidence to suggest that society needs to understand the differences of individuals, coupled with the fact that these differences, if accepted and embraced, can contribute to a more socially cohesive society and make good business sense. Whilst we can match skill sets with job roles, we believe that matching individuals personalities with that of an organisations culture can significantly improve the outcomes and longevity of the working relationship. Collaborative Support - Underpinning a customer s journey is a framework of key stakeholders who work collaboratively to support and explore optimum outcomes for individuals. To this end we work diligently to offer a balanced approach, objective & empathetic to all involved. Embracing the barriers approach - Whilst we recognise that some barriers to work can be overcome with current work models, our enhanced approach focuses on creatively exploring the possible benefits and opportunities that can be found within the barriers themselves. This positive perception model enables us to always look for any advantages that may not be immediately apparent. Courage Screw it! Lets do it! - Richard Branson

8 A message from the co-founders This is the page where we are supposed to tell you who we are and why we are doing this, giving you an insight into our journey so far and try to explain which of the many different events in our lives were the real turning point for us. In truth, it was a latte, a Belgian bun and yet another conversation deliberating the what ifs of life. Apart from being women of a certain age where menopause is a scary word and wrinkle cream is our new BFF, we, like others, valued our work/life balance and financial independence but craved the opportunity to offer an alternative approach to business. Having extensive experience working in both the private and public sector we were well aware of the very different approaches each had towards the management of business. We recognised the real benefit and opportunity that each sector could gain learning from one another and knew we had the knowledge and expertise to facilitate this. We could also actively promote the triple bottom line' approach and its social, environmental and financial rewards. Yes, we wanted it all and soon realised that we could have just that, a strong commercial organisation but with an emphasis on kindness, integrity and equality as key drivers. We can t explain why on this particular day we decided to take a leap of faith and jump off the cliff, but we did, we like to say it was an act of passion and on that very day we started to put into practice what we believed in and created something of our own, Enterprise East was born. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the endless support, encouragement and belief in our vision from our loved ones especially in the early stages of building the business when days rolled into nights and vice versa! Finally, we would like to share a little secret with you, we don t always follow the norms especially if we think there is a better way! So I m afraid we don t really do meetings but we do offer good coffee, fresh cake and stimulating conversation, so if you would like to discuss any of our services please feel free to get in touch. Best Wishes, Sam & Karen Passion The only way to do great work is to love what you do. - Steve Jobs
