"Starting your own business can be daunting. The Hive took away any fears I may have had and helped me with the advice and support I needed to implement my business ideas. I met with my mentor regularly and she kept me on track with my plans. I also benefited hugely from access to The Hive's facilities and resources. In fact, The Hive remains a strong foundation on which my business was built."
