“I wish I’d known about IPSE when I first started as a freelancer because it would have really helped me make those difficult decisions.”
"With a solid foundation, your business will flourish, the IPSE Incubator has helped my core business stability."
"I’ve joined the IPSE Incubator to enable me to learn these important processes for running a successful contracting business whilst hopefully bringing me into contact with other local contractors for community support and shared learning.”
I am enjoying the Incubator, as an 'old timer' I thought it would be good to refresh my skills, and it really has been useful. It’s really encouraged me to network more and try new things.
