"My business would not be where it is now without the help of South Ayrshire’s Business Gateway team. Using them feels like I’ve had a short-cut to success, as without them, it would have taken years longer to get to this stage. I would recommend them to anyone trying to grow their business."

"My Business Advisor was amazing, I feel so lucky to have had her support. She believed in me right from day one and guided me through every step. With the support of Business Gateway and my family I’ve gone from being ‘a wee granny with an idea’ to an inventor and businesswoman. It still doesn’t seem real, but it feels amazing."

"Without the good advice and mentoring from our Business Advisor we wouldn’t have managed to get our business started. We’ve grown from a small team producing a handful of pakora products, to become the leading Scottish supplier of authentic Indian cuisine, snacks and savouries, employing 42 people."

"We were linked with one of the Business Gateway advisers to talk about how they could support our desire to increase capacity.
