Commenting on her new role Hina said: “I’ve worked in business support for more than 25 years, including a period when I was both self-employed as a consultant alongside being employed, so I know all about the balance required in juggling the two.”

Mark, who set up his own social enterprise, Lighthouse Therapy, with BIC support three years ago, joins the team as a social enterprise adviser helping people who are providing much-needed services for their local communities.

Anneline also brings a wealth of knowledge and skills to the team from her former roles as a business adviser, estates and facilities manager, charity secretary and charity fundraiser, all of which are indispensable to the small enterprises she helps.
