Hi Jonathon, WELCOME to the GRID!
IS YOUR BUSINESS A NEW OR EXISTING ONE?
We are an existing business
WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR BUSINESS?
CS Communicate Ltd
WHAT DOES YOUR BUSINESS DO?
We are a marketing and design business, as our name suggests our aim is to help people communicate clearly and effectively with their customers – past, present and future.
WHEN WAS IT ESTABLISHED?
1991
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY DOING?
We work with a range of companies, mainly SME’s helping them develop their marketing ideas and in many cases seeing them through to developing marketing products, from business cards to websites – with quite a bit in between. We are also proud to be suppliers or ‘Professional Marketing Services’ to the Bradford Kickstart Programme.
HOW IS THE GRID HELPING YOU? Be kind!!
Our friends at the Grid have been very helpful and we are looking forward to working even closer, we have already worked together through the Wednesday lunchtime networking meetings and recently presented a 20 minute ‘Rough Guide to Marketing’ training session for them. We are also in talks to further develop these training sessions to focus on other specific marketing topics too.
WHAT FUTURE ASPIRATIONS DO YOU HAVE?
We want to be at the heart of the initiatives that are currently driving Bradford’s development forward and to play our part in ensuring that all the people of Bradford have the opportunity to move forward with it.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO GO INTO BUSINESS?
We went into business because we thought it would be more enjoyable and productive working for ourselves. Generally it is, though at times it’s both frustrating and very hard work and when it’s your own business it can be hard to switch off at times. On balance though we’re not complaining and we’ve made some lasting friendships as a result too. In terms of support, I would have to say that there is a lot more support about nowadays than there was when we started out, and the quality of it is much improved too. Also working through an incubation unit means you have access to fellow start-up business people and advisors who can really help and point you in the right direction. It’s the fool who doesn’t ask for help, and very few fools last long in business.
