I was recommended to meet Phil Fellone by a friend when I became unexpectedly self-employed in the February of 2024. I’d started providing e-commerce service for companies around the Northwest but had set off on my journey with little direction. After meeting Phil, he pointed me in the direction of a couple of networking events and told me about the “Made in Bury Business Academy”, I was unsure at first as I had never thrived in a classroom atmosphere and was apprehensive of taking my time away from looking for clients to bring in more income.
After the open evening it became apparent how comprehensive the academy was and how many modules within the course were things that I had no prior experience in or simply hadn’t considered. I’ve now leapfrogged many issues I was struggling with as well as being given the tools for obstacles that would have been on my horizon.
The business has now taken a completely different approach to how it started just a year ago. I have restructured almost everything I do, from my day-to-day management all the way to the overarching strategy of the business (after some “constructive feedback” the business name and logo have even changed!)
I couldn’t recommend the course enough and think it has easily saved a good couple of years on where I’d want to be, as well as meeting some brilliant people in the other course members whom I’ll look forward to working with more in the future.
Thank you very much Phil and Debi
