Doncaster Chamber helps Knockout business get off to a great start
Doncaster Chamber has helped Andrew Crittenden’s Martial Arts centre get off to a great start.
Andrew attended a four-day training course run by Doncaster Chamber as part of Business Link South Yorkshire’s start-up programme.
L-R Ann Garside, Doncaster Chamber and Andy Crittenden. “After an initial chat to discuss his business idea, Andrew attended the course which goes through the basics of setting up a new company,” said Ann Garside, Business Support Manager with Doncaster Chamber.
“Having opened his Martial Arts Centre last year, Andrew’s business is really taking off.”
The start-up programme run by Doncaster Chamber is open to anybody in the Doncaster area who has always dreamed of running their own business.
“Phoning Doncaster Chamber was the best thing I could have done to ensure the launch of my new centre was a success,” said Andrew Crittenden, who is 23 years old and comes from Balby.
“I had run a martial arts centre before, but it wasn’t my own. The start-up programme was really useful in terms of finding out the pitfalls of the various tax regimes a small business has to think about, and going through the dos and don’ts of running a business.
“I am maintaining a good relationship with Doncaster Chamber’s Business Support Team as my martial arts centre grows and expands.”
