Employee engagement and HR brand, EVOLVE, is the latest developing company to benefit from the Ulster Bank Entrepreneur Accelerator programme.
Belfast Businesswoman Claire Loftus, Founder & Director of EVOLVE, has already worked with some of Northern Ireland’s leading and up and coming companies. And now with the support of Ulster Bank EVOLVE is growing into a leading corporate services brand.
Last week Claire was one of a number of local businesses who were short listed in the Northern Ireland SME Business Awards. Claire and EVOLVE were nominated in the New Business of the Year category.
EVOLVE is the only provider in Northern Ireland of the global Engage & Grow Programmes, designed by world leader and influencer in the field, Richard Maloney. His unique programmes are now leading the way in tackling the global epidemic of employee disengagement.
Gordon Merrylees, Managing Director Entrepreneurship, Ulster Bank said “We are delighted to welcome Claire Loftus and EVOLVE on to the programme in Belfast.
“With our unique offering that provides the right environment, coaching and networks, we help entrepreneurs start, scale and succeed every day.”
“We look forward to seeing Claire engage with the programme and grow her business with us.”
The six-month ‘Accelerator’ programme is designed to power up entrepreneurs who want to grow and scale their business.
Each hub surrounds their entrepreneurs with the right coaching, environment and networking opportunities to take their business much further, much faster.
Entrepreneur Claire said she is already experiencing benefits by being on Ulster Bank programme.
“Being on the Accelerator programme has been key to helping me create a clear strategy for my business, supporting me to gain greater clarity on my direction and how I can better serve my clients” she said.
“Having the opportunity mix with other Entrepreneurs has been superb, being able to bounce ideas and experiences off like-minded people has increased my confidence, improved my network and helped me to understand the needs of a variety of businesses.
“The Ulster Bank Accelerator Programme, coupled with my recent business award shortlist have been instrumental in creating awareness for myself and my brand, something I may not have achieved in the past.
“I would definitely recommend the programme to anybody who has their own business and is to push it to the next level.”
