Paul Smith, Business Ambassador, Warehouse Manager, Gist, Crewe:

“The experience has helped me develop my presentation and other job skills.  It has given me enormous satisfaction from seeing the children involved progress and achieve.  I took up the challenge to step outside my comfort zone, and do something different from my everyday work role.  I also enjoyed the networking opportunities involved in meeting other local business people.”

Cathy Warren, Business Ambassador, Director of Full Colour Printers, Congleton:

“We are a local family business employing about 40 people from the surrounding area, as such we feel it’s imperative to invest in the young people of our community, assisting in developing our business people and prospective employees of the future.

We were thrilled to be involved with the Time for a Change scheme, and the high standard of the results achieved is testament to the success of the program and the capability of the students involved.”

Head teacher, St Benedicts Primary School, Macclesfield:

“Time for a Change has helped pupils make greater sense of the world in which they live. It has been a real asset to our Citizenship programme. The work of the pupils has been an inspiration to their peers and teachers. Time for a Change has ensured that St Benedict’s has a real and practical grasp of the Schools’ Enterprise Agenda.”

Lindsay Purcell, Alsager Education Improvement Partnership, Alsager School:

“Time for a Change links very effectively to two of our EIP priorities:
Our focus on projects that allow smooth transition and curriculum continuity from KS2-3.
Our focus on developing an enterprise culture across all schools in the Partnership.

It allows Alsager children to develop Enterprise/PINC skills and capabilities and to begin to understand the values and attitudes of the business community. The project further enhances the ECM strands of achieve economic wellbeing and enjoy and achieve.”
