What our Clients say about us and our programmes
“The Diversification Challenge Programme is a highly informative, supportive and personally enlightening for anyone about to embark on or starting a business. It provides the building blocks needed and helps us to look at the aspects of our business we are afraid to address, it provides us with the skills and the knowledge to deal with the fears surrounding our new venture. By taking part in this programme I have achieved so much, it helped me remove the blocks and focus clearly and confidently on my business. I highly recommend this course to all you budding entrepreneurs, it will change your life... it certainly has for me.
Thank you for all your hard work, your inspiration, motivation, guidance and wisdom.”
Love and light

“Mallusk Enterprise Park has delivered a number of programmes on behalf of the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) including a Pilot, Core and Follow On Programmes. These programmes gained first class feedback from participants. Dropout rate was very low and completion rates were excellent with almost all participants gaining accreditation through ILM. We were so pleased with the program that we applied for a National Training Award. The application was successful and the partnership (with Mallusk Enterprise Park and Fitzpatrick & Associates) was awarded a National Training Award.This award recognized outstanding achievement and success through training and development. We also received a City and Guilds Collaboration Award for an excellent example of collaboration and partnership between organizations.”
