"We took part in the pitching as we were looking for a non-executive director to assist with fundraising, growth
strategy and marketing. At first I was apprehensive about the pitch because we were not coming from the angle
of a big multiconglomoerate and therefore it was necessary to address and pitch in relation to social
consciousness and awareness of the services that we provide. It was a case of just going for it and knowing that
we have such a wonderful concept that gave the encouragement and generated the enthusiasm to pitch. We
were overwhelmed afterwards with the level of support and can only thank the event organisers profusely for the
opportunity afforded. I would definitely recommend to other social enterprises and charities/businesses."
