York firm proves funding is available
A York-based probate and wills service is proving to other businesses across the region that funding streams are still available for business improvement.
Pavilion Row, established twelve months ago by MD Angus Houston, has recently accessed funding support from the Skills Funding Agency in conjunction with Leeds-based business consultancy Strategy to Succeed Ltd.
Angus explained: “I think this proves that it’s not all doom and gloom on the funding front and there are still resources available to assist businesses.
“We carry out probate administration which some see as a legal process but we view very much as an area of administration supported by effective management.
“The process mapping we are undertaking with Strategy to Succeed Ltd will make our approach to managing staff skills far more effective and focused and determine what roles can be carried out and by whom.
“The funding from the SFA has proved invaluable,” added Angus who has a management background within large scale outsourcing firms. He qualified in 2009 with STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practioners) and sits on their regional committee.
Strategy to Succeed Ltd, established in 2010, is a business consultancy that utilises a network of skilled associates to deliver a comprehensive range of strategic and operational business development solutions.
