Default Business Help Needed!

Hi, I'm Grant, currently studying at Peter Jones' National Enterprise Academy... you can find out about me on my website, just Google my name. I'm currently setting up a Guerrilla Marketing business and have another great idea I want to pursue. I'm looking for a printing company that can print on a variety of different surfaces and also a great web designer that is fairly cheap as I'm on a limited budget!

Can anyone help?

Contact me on 07825044935

Hey Grant,
Welcome to TBF! Tell us more about the academy you're part of. How did you get in? And also, how did you hear about TBF? I have 1, maybe both of your needs. Private message me and I'll send the details over to you.

Bond I've sent you a DM.

I currently attend Peter Jones' National Enterprise Academy in Manchester, United Kingdom. Peter Jones is a dragon on the BBC business programme Dragons Den and is an extremely successful entrepreneur. The academy is a bit like the TV programme the Apprentice, completing lots of real life business challenges, whilst also setting up my own business. I love every minute of it, I eat, sleep and breathe business. I'm on a very limited budget and I'm looking for a web designer for either my marketing business or a new business idea I'm keen to get up and running. I also want to get in contact with a printing company for a possible long term contract for my new business idea.

@Grant,
Haha, awesome... is there a TV show behind it? That still doesn't explain how you heard about TBF. What's the idea? Can you elaborate on it?

There's no TV show behind the academy, but the founder Peter Jones is actively involved with television. I heard about TBF through James Coughlan one of the current members, however I'd heard about it many times before on Twitter. My business is the Guerrilla Marketing Company which specializes in creative, out of the box marketing, however I'm also keen to investigate another business idea I have (but I'm keeping that under wraps for now). My Guerrilla marketing business is just starting up and I'm eager to have a website designed for it! I currently use my personal website for everything.

@grant,
How is that possible? I known James for a year now and never knew he was part of the academy. Well, glad you finally decided to take a look at TBF. Any reason why you didn't decide to take a look earlier? I think the designer I recommended will suit your needs very well.

Who runs the academy?

You misunderstand me, James Coughlan told me to have a look on TBF for my needs, I met James through Twitter, he does not attend the academy. The academy's CEO is a man named Clive Capp, he is Peter Jones' father in law. I don't really know why I haven't visited TBF before, I should have! I hope the contacts I make can help me on my business journey, I'm eager to get up and running and also explore my new business idea further. thanks for the contacts you've supplied so far!

@grant,
Oh gotcha. Can you tell me more about how the academy is run? Is it an alternative option to traditional schooling? And how does someone get in as it sounds like a great place to get an entrepreneur started.
