Laura Foster

Entrepreneurial Development Manager at University of Sunderland

“Far North had previously facilitated some ad hoc start up events for us over a couple of years as part of a ERDF project supporting our student and graduate start-ups. We were delighted when they submitted a tender to deliver business coaching, workshops and advice as part of our Internship and Enterprise project.

They are always a pleasure to work wit, their trainers bring an infectious energy to the delivery. They really understand our objectives but importantly know how to connect and get the best out of our start-ups.”

"We spoke and at once I felt as if the team understood what it was I was looking for, what would help my colleagues, and what we needed from a training session.

Arranging the day with Far North was easy. On the day, our trainer was friendly, realistic, open to questions and contributions ... the sessions were pitched perfectly.

We're already seeing a huge impact from the training with my colleagues"

"Far North have delivered training sessions for our Fellows Forum of clinical and practitioner academics. The sessions were both excellent and engaging.

Feedback was incredibly positive with attendees commenting on how much they had learned, how empowered they felt to start building their networks and brand and even to start their own podcast!

Working with Far North was easy and enjoyable. I feel they really listened to the needs of the audience in advance and tailored the training appropriately. I am looking forward to working with the team again soon. Thank you!"

The team really does know their tuff and I was fortunate enough to complete a week of work experience with them which helped me so much!"

Chris Sykes

University of Sunderland Student

"I recently went to one of Far North's workshops ‘Grow your Business’.  It was a fantastic day and well worth the time.

Being a business owner can be lonely at times and it was great to see that most businesses owners have roughly the same problems and how we used the day to help overcome these problems and have lots of fun at the same time.

If you get a chance to go on a workshop run by Far North I highly recommend it."
