Nemo Autos Ltd, Hyde Samantha Clayton (Owner) of Nemo Autos Ltd, Hyde with her Apprentice Georgia Moseley:

“As a small business overheads are high. The grant helps to pay Georgia’s wage. In all honesty, the grant is a massive help, we are really grateful.” Samantha Clayton, Owner of Nemo Autos Ltd

“I thought there’s no financial risk and it gives a young person the opportunity to see what it’s like to work. How does a young person get experience without a chance? By employing a person with no experience, it also gave me the chance to mould someone.” Darren Hartley, Managing Director at Insul-Eight Contracts Ltd.
