“What’s really interesting about the events, is that I can learn from the person that’s actually judging the bids. It was so useful to find out exactly what they are looking for. I will be attending more Opportunity Harlow events – they are really useful for a small business like ours.”

“The programme provides such an amazing opportunity for local businesses to engage with each other. For us, it’s a platform to meet more local business owners. It’s free because it’s government funded. The events are only a couple of hours, and the information is really useful. So why not take part!”

“The content of the event is unreal. I mean, usually, you would have to pay for that kind of education or insight. Learning whilst you’ve got a free breakfast or whilst you’re sat amongst other people in the same boat, it’s just amazing.”

“I love the concept of Opportunity Harlow. I love the whole idea of keeping the money within the town and working with people within the town. We want to work with as many local businesses as we can.”

“As a result of the support and networking opportunities we’ve received from the Opportunity Harlow project – we’ve been introduced to HTS to present our domestic insulation services as well as to the Retrofit Academy regarding the upskilling of some of our staff members.”

“As a result of our exposure on the Opportunity Harlow portal and the connections made – we are now presenting our site lighting capabilities to Tier 1’s in the Sizewell C construction project.”

“What a fabulous resource!  We have just won a contract which was issued on Opportunity Harlow.  The portal is super easy to navigate which allowed us to respond to the tender.  If we had not been a member, we would have missed this opportunity.  If you are a local business, then I highly recommend you join, you’ll get priority access to some great contracts and best of all – it’s free.”
