Sue Whitfield proudly signs the agreement which transfers North Lincolnshire Council's young people's accommodation service into PHASE (Young Peoples Support) CIC.


PHASE is based at Cambridge House, Cambridge Avenue, Scunthorpe, from where its 20-strong team provides accommodation and support for young people who have left or are leaving care.  It is the Council's Children's Services first spin-out social enterprise.


We have been delighted to support Sue and the Council through the approval and transition process, and we wish PHASE every success for the future.

Congratulations to Liz Weatherill, Managing Director of Enable2 CIC, for winning Bradford's Inspirational Business Woman of the Year Award last Saturday night.  We were delighted to be appointed to provide business advisory support to Liz when she was seeking to set up Enable2 as an independent social enterprise. Since the launch of Enable2 CIC in October 2011 we have seen it double in size, with ambitions to win more contracts outside the Bradford area.  Liz inspires us by her determination to develop the business, adding more services to meet changing needs and demands, and continually thinking up new ideas and approaches to improve what Enable2 does. By focussing on excellence, innovation, customer service and looking after her team, she is building a very strong and successful business.  Liz is one of the most modest people we know, so being nominated as an Inspirational Business Woman would have come as a surprise to her, but not to us.  She is truly inspirational and we are delighted she has received recognition in this year’s awards.
