LEDCOM launched the Social Enterprise Accelerator Programme yesterday! 💥 We kick-started the programme with a webinar to welcome the participants, get a clear idea of what their social enterprise idea is, provide an overview of the programme identifying how we can support them, network with each other and learn more about how social enterprises operate and key factors to success The team are really excited to start this programme and support the entrepreneurs with their ideas and concepts! The demand for the programme has been fantastic and we have created a waiting list for anyone else who would like to join. 😊 To be part of this, email Catherine at LEDCOM on catherine.anderson@ledcom.org for more information. #LEDCOM #Larne #Ballymena #Carrickfergus #Community #Support #SocialEnterpriseAccelerator #MEABC

Meet Annie! 👋 💇♀️ Annie has registered on the Explore Enterprise Programme to help her start up a new mobile hairdressing business in Larne. She is working with Catherine Anderson as her mentor and we have already covered lots of topics in our first meeting. Annie has been very willing to share her journey of Explore Enterprise on socials to keep her accountable but also inspire others to take the next step in their journey. This morning, Annie and Catherine met to start the mentoring hours. We began by creating a detailed plan with clear steps for both Annie and Catherine to follow throughout the programme. We reviewed where Annie currently was in terms of starting her business, looked at her social media platforms, discussed the importance of video content and considered how to make the customer experience even better. We are excited to see Annie progress both personally and with her business. To find out more about the Explore Enterprise Programme, you can contact LEDCOM by emailing catherine.anderson@ledcom.org

Meet Amy and Una! 🙌 Amy Junkin (Communications and Development Manager) and Una McKeague (Events Coordinator) from Enterprise Northern Ireland used to work separately from home, but they wanted a space where they could collaborate and work together in person. They chose the Work Cube as there is a collaborative work environment, high speed internet, Ballyclare is a convenient location and they can access support from the LEDCOM team. When they’re not at the Work Cube, they’re traveling around Northern Ireland for various business support events. We’re thrilled to have them at Work Cube, Ballyclare! Within the Work Cub there is • Hot Desks and Dedicated Desks • A Private Office • High-Speed Internet • Access to communal areas, kitchen facilities, and other shared resources. • Networking Opportunities: A community of like-minded professionals and opportunities for networking and collaboration. • 24/7 Access: Flexible access to the workspace, catering to various working hours and schedules. To view the Work Cube, email info@ledcom.org for more information. #LEDCOM #Ballyclare #Larne #CoworkingCommunity #Collaboration #EnterpriseNorthernIreland #WorkingTogether

Train the Trainer Event for Go Succeed Advisors at Willowbank Business Park! 🙂 Last week, we hosted one of three workshops for Enterprise Northern Ireland . Advisors from across the Enterprise Northern Ireland network attended the session to learn or refresh their knowledge of the Go Succeed Programme. With 40+ people attending, it was a highly successful event with multiple compliments on the facilities, catering and location! Lots of great connections were made and meeting other people within the network was a highlight! It is easy to underestimate the knowledge and support that is available for businesses but help is available. 🤝🏻 For more information about business support or conference facilities, contact info@ledcom.org. #LEDCOM #Larne #Ballyclare #BusinessSupport #InspiringBusinesses #Community Amy Junkin
