Taking a highly personal approach, Done Your Way offers affordable solutions that help clients grow their businesses and achieve success.

Being a part of the Business Gateway community has given us an increased sense of confidence to grow and develop our original business and given us an insight into the ever-changing tech sector.

How Business Gateway has helped

After receiving Business Gateway’s expert advice, Done Your Way went on to receive a grant from the European Regional Development Fund which they have since used to strengthen their marketing and branding.

Luke McConnell, co-founder of Done Your Way, said: “After working with Business Gateway, we have received a variety of start-up and growth business services, all of which have been instrumental in moving our business forward. One-to-one business advice and funding assistance has equipped us with the skills and capabilities to gain greater exposure of the local market which has ultimately helped increase our customer base.
