How other companies have benefitted from the IYRE grant:

“I would say that the IYRE service was straightforward and easy to use. I would recommend it to others as it enabled Wessex Park & Leisure Homes to move forward on an initiative which would otherwise have been deferred.” (This company had a grant to buy process control equipment)”

Wessex Park & Leisure Homes - John Rawlings, Commercial Manager

“We were the first company to use the IYRE scheme in Dorset. 

I would highly recommend it.  We used the grant to fund our ISO 14001 certification and consultation, which we needed in order to apply for bigger 

tenders and bids. Anna and her team were very helpful in assisting us to fill in the forms and documents and choosing the right consultant. Throughout the whole ISO process, we knew we had their backup and support.”
