"I was thrown in at the deep end and have had to learn as I have gone along but consulting the business advisor has been a great asset. I feel more structured now and can see a ‘clearer’ path ahead."
Clive Ross, C. J. Events and Media – My Incubator Watford
"I've found the whole Incubator experience incredibly rewarding on a number of levels. After working in London for many years, I decided to start my own business and Wenta have been very instrumental in helping to turn this intention into a reality. After attending a free 'Let's Start in Business" seminar at Stevenage, I moved into the Stevenage Incubator a few weeks ago and haven't looked back.
I've been able to tap into a comprehensive level of support and benefit from a valuable depth of collective experience. Free workshops, free mentoring, free everything; plus I'm enjoying great companionship and a real spirit of entrepreneurialism."
Gary Jennings, 43 Digital – My Incubator Stevenage
"When I first heard about My Incubator I genuinely couldn't believe what I was hearing. My Incubator provides everything a small business start-up needs. 3 months of free; office space, telephone access, Wi-Fi, friendly unpressured networking and quality, helpful advice from on-site experts! The service and guidance I have been provided with is outstanding. My business is already well on it's way to success and My Incubator has provided me with a rock solid foundation to ensure it continues this way. I cannot thank the staff enough."
Aiden Nichols, A1 Digital Media – My Incubator Watford
"Since working within My Incubator I have been able to network with a variety other start-ups in a professional environment. Which, in my case, has led to a new business partnership" says Iona. "I started with just one product and a website. I am now pitching the product to major retailers, whilst also developing a new website and new products. The business connections I have made during my time in My Incubator have been invaluable and a massive asset to my business."
Iona Hutchinson, Little Zookeepers – My Incubator Stevenage
"Setting up on your own can be daunting at first but My Incubator has given me the support and encouragement I needed straight from the start. The facilities are excellent and I am surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs all striving to succeed which creates a very positive working environment."
Paul Maguire, Magnite PR – My Incubator Stevenage
"The office space is very well equipped and a more suitable environment than home working. My Incubator has provided excellent guidance and a good source of motivation when required with the benefit of an office environment and a business like atmosphere."
Eugene O'Hara, of E.O.H Recruitment Ltd – My Incubator Luton
"After just nine months as Managing Agents for the council owned Business & Technology Centre, Wenta took a leap of faith by creating My Incubator. The project was fully endorsed and supported by Stevenage Borough Council, but neither party could have anticipated the success and impact it would have in such a short space of time. This service is unique in Hertfordshire, complements other levels of support, provides a valuable opportunity for local entrepreneurs and innovators, and will ultimately contribute to a stronger economy."
Nick Parry - Chief Executive, Stevenage Borough Council
"I'm delighted that our bid for My Incubator has been successful. This is just what we need in Watford. We have one of the highest rates of start up businesses and yet many of them fail. This will give those businesses the support they need in the early months and years. It's really good news for the town."
Dorothy Thornhill, Elected Mayor of Watford
"Small businesses are the lifeblood of a successful economy. That is why supporting start-ups and helping local businesses to grow, create jobs and crack new markets has been such a major part of EEDA's mission over the last ten years – to improve the economy of the East of England. This new incubator for Watford will provide a valuable facility for the local business community and future generations of budding entrepreneurs."
Deborah Cadman, Chief Executive of EEDA
"The council is keen to support local business initiatives especially in the current financial climate as small businesses can really help boost the local economy. The new facility in Potters Bar will be a valuable resource for start-up businesses as well as the existing local business community and future generations of budding entrepreneurs."
Councillor Morris Bright, Chairman of the Local Strategic Partnership, Hertsmere Together, and Leader of Hertsmere Borough Council
