Really Pro Ltd has been successful in securing funding from the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund to offer free skills training and support sessions for businesses and individuals in Pembrokeshire.

Project Manager for Really Pro, David Lewis, says of the new initiative being set up through the fund; “We are thrilled to have received this funding via Pembrokeshire County Council and the UK Government’s Community Renewal Fund to deliver our exciting new THRIVE programme. THRIVE will give access to opportunities that can help get people into employment and offer businesses invaluable insights on how to improve their business operations.”

The only independent business to receive this funding in the county, Lewis says of the company’s ambitions: “Throughout the rest of 2022, Really Pro can help improve the prospects of anyone wanting to develop their skills be they unemployed, in employment or running a business. THRIVE is an incredibly flexible and accessible programme, designed specifically for the benefit of individuals and businesses in Pembrokeshire to gain the support and training they need. This includes everything from Covid Resilience, Sustainability, Cost Benefit Analysis and Time-Management to key learnings in the most up-to-date and relevant developments in Marketing and Sales skills.”

THRIVE kicked off in earnest in May with a motto of ‘Achieve Together’. A top team of advisers and support workers are on hand right now to help deliver diagnostic reviews to evaluate the key needs of businesses and individuals to then progress them on to an implementation stage of support required.

Kelly Monroe, Centre Standards & Relationship Manager for Really Pro, is excited about the potential of the THRIVE project: “We’re passionate about collaborative working and learning through shared experience. THRIVE is built on the three fundamentals of ‘Grow / Change / Explore’ and here at Really Pro we want to help as many people and businesses in 2022 as we can to benefit from the opportunities that THRIVE presents. We have some very exciting news to come on the partnerships that we are building here at Really Pro with other organisations and businesses to ensure we realise the full potential and reach for THRIVE across the whole county. We encourage people to sign up now!”.
