Wessex Partnerships Ltd (WPL) provides
dedicated support for
social enterprise start-up and development and helps secure public
service contracts.
It’s about
understanding the
difference...
We understand
that the drivers and values for private enterprise and social
enterprises are quite separate, as we regularly work with both.
More importantly we know the differences and similarities, as well
as how to measure their performance. This understanding means we
can deliver the most beneficial service for each of our clients.
How we
do it?...
We like to
challenge convention, we know what works and what doesn't, and we
have considerable technical and business expertise and knowledge
of the public sector. We have a strong track record of fundraising
for a diverse range of partnerships and projects. We continue to
help
organisations to achieve
their aspirations based on the sound
business principles of finance and marketing.
