Azzurian specialises in household maintenance and waste removal - offering services such as repairs, waste removal and a key holding service to help protect any property, rented or owned.

Azzurian Director John Caton was looking for assistance and training with all aspects of starting a new business. His solicitor advised him about the free start up support available through Regenerate Pennine Lancashire.

The support provided

John attended Regenerate's free start up bootcamps, where he benefited from assistance with completing his business plan. He took part in a free HR seminar to help him with taking on staff, and was assigned his own business coach.

Results

As a result of the support received, John has recruited an additional member of staff and is due to take on more in the near future. John is also putting the support he received from his coach into action, utilising professional selling skills and social media to promote his business.

Feedback

“The workshops and seminars have been extremely worthwhile and beneficial to me in starting my business, and I’d recommend them to anyone in a similar position. They provide a good opportunity to meet other new businesses while receiving expert advice.” - John Caton, Director of Azzurian

Azzurian received support as part of the Pennine LEAP programme, run by Regenerate Pennine Lancashire. The LEAP programme is now part of Boost Business Lancashire. To apply for support, complete our online form or call 0800 488 0057.
