Jane Ryall, Social Entrepreneur Support Manager Wales

We have joined forces with Welsh ICE as a referral partner and to deliver two 5-9 Clubs to date, as we love the way they connect with entrepreneurs in their community either in person or online. Their fun, pro-active and committed approach is a joy to work with. Lesley and the team are able to bring tips on starting a business to life through a combination of theory and hands-on experience from real people doing it.

Cheryl Fereday, Youth Engagement and Progression Officer

I was very impressed with the 5-9 programme; the speakers are fantastic and so inspiring. ICE has designed a programme that is informative, engaging, and completely youth friendly.

The programme teaches you everything you need to start a business, it is fun, interactive and it makes running your own business accessible to all.

The speakers they use always provide high quality talks and are always happy to talk about their experience and provide guidance. The team at ICE are friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and open to new ideas and working with you. ICE are like a family and you don’t have to work for them to be part of it.

Alex Evans, Economic Development Officer

I would rate the quality of Welsh ICE’s services very highly, as they were always understanding of our changing requirements and adapted accordingly. I was very happy with the support offered as Welsh ICE were very accommodating to help us shorten the length of the boot camp whilst still included the main topics we requested. Welsh ICE showed excellent professionalism and were always quick to respond to our queries.
