Testimonials
Claire Cox, Director Bailey Hunter
The Unit is an ideal venue for any new start-up business. They offer excellent rates on city centre offices/meeting rooms, lots of other discounted networking memberships, mentor support and even discounted printing services which is all extremely valuable for any new company. I would not hesitate in recommending The Unit to anyone needing an office in Leeds at reasonable prices and an invaluable support network.
Adam Woodhall, Founder and Lead Consultant, PeopleProfitPlanet
The Unit was a fantastic foundation which helped me build PeopleProfitPlanet. The main benefits were having lots of other passionate start-up business people around me and great mentoring. It was also a real advantage to have a supportive and helpful Unit Business Support team ensuring I could focus on what really mattered; growing my business. PeopleProfitPlanet is now in its 4th year of operation, and we have flown the nest after our period of intensive incubation. I can honestly say that we wouldn’t have got here without The Unit.
Tim Kent, Managing Director, Innovations in Technology Ltd
Strongly believe that without The Unit's involvement my business wouldn’t have grown as it has!
Recommend any small business to apply to join and the government to support these kind of initiatives as it allows those who want to succeed a better chance.
Darren Bugg, The News Hound Ltd
When we set up The News Hound Ltd in September 2006, the very first thing we did was to apply for a place in The Unit. We became one of the first companies to gain a place in the Unit when it opened its doors, and to this day, it is still the best business decision we ever made. Quite simply, our success is down to the wonderful array of support that we have received from the Unit.
Abigail Udenze, 1st Resource Ltd
My stay at the Unit cannot be summarised in a few words but I will mention the highlights of my stay.
The immense support from the business team has been fantastic. They have worked so hard from organising to reminders, one to ones, as well as telling offs.
I have been so thrilled about the management within the Unit and their conscientious effort in organising tailored courses to suit each business and help us grow.
The reduced cost of office facilities has assisted the business to grow in staff strength allowing us reach our business goals.
The Unit has over the year provided free mentoring for my business which has been very inspiring and goals and challenges have been achieved through these sessions.
Being surrounded by like minded entrepreneurs has been great. The wealth of experience gained over the year by courses organised within the Unit and various activities I have had the opportunity to be part of is unforgettable.
Our business has definitely grown over the year and I was also able to receive a European award in November 2007 that was awesome!
I will truly miss being in the Unit.
Dave Frazier, VR3 Media Ltd
The business mentor sessions have helped us get focused on a number of aspects such as time management, targets and finance. Having people from a number of different backgrounds also setting up new businesses is helpful.
Omar Hamdi, Honeypot Digital
