Make Real Progress are finalists for the Peterborough Small Business Award! (Like many similar awards – there are both a public vote and a judges decision. So as much as I don’t like to ask, PLEASE vote for me here if you like what I do – you don’t need to be a client to vote! 🙂)
I’ve secured a place on the NatWest Business Accelerator Programme starting in September 2024. As they’re only looking for businesses who’ve performed well and are growing (with only a 1 in 5 chance of getting a place) it made my day!
