We have noticed a significant uptake in the larger companies engaging with us as an SME during the last six months.
The Cabinet Office have been extremely supportive of the SME community and the largest suppliers to Government seem to be embracing the innovation and cost advantages presented by the SME’s out there. Whilst it is not a perfect environment; without the consistent messages and directions from the Cabinet Office, we are in no doubt that there would have been minimal progress made.
Our MD, Pamela Cook, sits on Francis Maude’s SME Advisory Panel and would welcome any thoughts and feedback on success stories / lessons learned / ideas which you may have.
