Testimonials



How Exciting to Meet You At This Stage  (Mem Hockley - Mems Cooking School)
Thank you so much for helping me to understand where I am at on this incredible journey. I feel like I am flying again. How exciting to meet you at this stage. Thank you so much!


Patricia Morris  (Patricia Morris, June 2010)
After having a business planning session with Quanita Chivers I found that it was a very expansive and fullfiulling exercise, Quanita was very frank and clear in her approach. She inspired me to dig very deeply when formulating my vision statement for my businesss plan in a very nuturing and effective way. I felt this opened me up to realise my full potential in my work, in a very real way. I am now inspired to complete my business plan with clear guidance coming from the vision statement.


Thanks  (Clare Gleeson - Neon Zoo)
Myself and my business partner have been using the services of the centre for over three years. The centre has provided opportunities within a supportive environment which we can share our experiences with other small business owners. I have no doubt that the Hunter Business Centre has played a vital role in the development of our business and expect that we will continue to use its services as our business grows.


HBC entrepreneurs lead the way  (Mark Sjostedt - National Australia Bank)
The Hunter Business Centre is a world class organisation which has set the benchmark for other business enterprise centres. Their dedicated staff are helping to build some of the most successful small businesses in the state.


Keep up the good work!  (Anthony Gee - SMARTLINE Personal Mortage Advisors)
You provide an invaluable and professional resource for small business in the Hunter Region. I have been working with my mentor for approximatley 1 year. She is great to bounce ideas off and I always leave our meetings feeling ready to get in and give something different a go. Without her encouragement I would not be as successful as I am today. She is a caring person and genuinely wants to see people succeed in their business endeavours.


NAB Microenterprise Loan  (Julie Ransley - A Quilting Passion)
I can't say enough about NAB's Microenterprise Loan. Amid the current economic circumstances, it's comforting to see a helpful and easy program aimed at new entrepreneurs. I'd definately encourage other to apply for the funding.


Thank you to Team HBC  (Ben Neil - Hospitality Recruitment Solutions)
I have already referred a number of people that are looking at planning to start their own businesses to the BEC due to the positive experience that I have had.


NAB Micro Loan  (David Castleton - Castleton Plumbing and Yachting)
NAB's Microenterprise Loan was right for me because even though I was opening a small business, I was taken seriously. There was also a lot of flexibility with the loan. It helped me get on top of my cashflow and get on my feet.


Thank you for the opportunity of support  (Pam Lancaster - Cartoon Delight Workshops)
You have been a constant guide as to how I wish to change and grow my business and I feel strongly as to supporting the Hunter Business Advisory Service in the future. This service is free and I would not have been able to afford a cost at this stage of growth.


Newcastle BEC is Terrific  (Owen Walsh - Event Tranfers)
The BEC showed us how to organise our time much better. Through better time management we are now able to reach more people with less effort allowing us to grow our business much faster than we thought possible. The access to FREE mentors, material, seminars and courses is a great advantage of being involved with BEC. The fact our mentor is an industry professional with years of experience with a down to earth approach is something we really like. Nobody can run your business but you, however my mentor has provided her valuable experience in crucial stages of our business progress in order for us to minimise mistakes and maximise development. BEC is a great service and provides us security in knowing there are people outside our friends and family who want us to succeed.


Thank You  (Chelle Heath - Green Tea Frog)
NAB's Microenterprise Loan eased the pressure of starting the business and gave me more financial control in the early stages of my business. Thanks to the Hunter Business Centre and the NEIS Program, my business was named the 2008 NEIS Business of the year.
