Thinking Big

Focusing on the needs of the business and ensuring, as a social enterprise, that the business achieves on its own merits, are just some of Matt’s many achievements.In this podcast Matt talks us through the businesses that sit under Grace Enterprises and his commitment to creating viable commercial entities - that at the same time change lives.‘Biscuits that change lives’ is perhaps an easy sell, but Matt has taken the business from strength to strength (with a new bakery just opened) thanks to both surrounding himself with diverse voices and trusting them to get on with the job at hand.  But it’s not just about biscuits… Thank you to Matt Parfitt for sharing his approaches, vision and ambition to have a positive impact on as many people facing employment barriers as possible.Matt’s business empire and further details can be found below-       https://www.graceenterprises.co.uk/-       https://www.radiantcleaners.co.uk/-       https://www.jubileeevents.co.uk/-       https://www.halfthestory.uk/We also mentioned social investment and social enterprise support, so here are some more useful links: -      https://www.goodfinance.org.uk -       https://www.sibgroup.org.uk/-       https://www.socialenterprise.org.ukThese podcasts are brought to you by me, Rebecca White of Hasler-White Inclusive Facilitation in partnership with the wonderful people at Future Projects in Norwich.⁠ www.haslerwhite.com⁠⁠⁠www.futureradio.co.uk⁠⁠The aim is to cut through the nonsense by having no nonsense open acronym-free conversations about all the things I wish I’d had support with when running my social enterprise.It’s now my turn to bring some hope, new ideas and inspiration by speaking to people within my network.More resources and all the podcasts can be found on ⁠⁠my website⁠⁠.Find and follow me by heading to:• ⁠⁠www.instagram.com/rebkawhite⁠⁠• LinkedIn: ⁠⁠Rebecca White⁠⁠• Get in touch for inspiring podcast guests and please share them if you think they might be useful for someone else.• The track on this podcast is called ⁠⁠Funk from Icons8⁠⁠
