We have completed over twelve business plans to assist orgnanisations or clinicians to become social enterprises and to make the transition. Of these several are now trading.

We can bring together the right team of experts to make the transition efficient and effective. We have experience of interim senior management (CEO and Director level) in several social enterprises.

From 2006 to 2015  we worked in partnership with Willow Bank Partnership CIC and Gingerbread (Stoke). We were successful in bidding for Department of Health Pathfinder money to establish a primary care social enterprise in Stoke on Trent and also Health Foundation SHINE project funding. CTP were Company Directors of Willow Bank up until 2015. Our work involved:
