Grow your island business!
Is your business ready for the next phase in its development?
Tiree Community Development Trust would like to hear from any island businesses who are seeking accreditation or training to expand and improve their operations. Would accreditation in quality management standards help your business to win bigger contracts? Would training sessions on managing finances help your business become more efficient? Tell us what you need and when you need it and we will investigate options for shared training days and funding support to help you take your business forward.
Initial interest has been shown in gaining ‘ISO 9000’ and ‘Investors in People’ accreditation over the winter months- would you like your business to be included?
Please contact Lynne Cox with your feedback: lynne.cox@tireetrust.org.uk
