Hear from our members

Let’s Do Business Group has been a NEN member for over 20 years. Membership provides the Enterprise Support sector with a voice to Government and other stakeholders. Membership also provides the opportunity to meet and get to know similar organisations all around the country providing opportunities to share best practice and opportunities to work together.

Without NEN we would really feel alone. NEN makes us feel part of something much wider than just us in Scarborough. It links us with other organisations with the same ethos and goals, but ones that also face the same challenges. Together we are stronger.

The NEN is our voice to government. For STANTA, as a small agency, it is most important to have access to a body of like-minded people with similar issues and ethos. And, perhaps most important of all, as a provider of a free service of economic benefit in our area, is that the government needs to recognise and support this, the NEN is the only one in a position to achieve this.
