Marcus Thompson spent four years at YREC, during which he hired employees, expanded his machinery to grow his product range and production efficiency, and built strong community networks in a region he was new to.
“I graduated from YREC at the end of 2020 and moved my business to a workshop that had much-needed additional space and three-phase power for machine upgrades. A ‘once in a lifetime’ workshop in Wesburn became available at just the right time for me to be confident to expand,” he says.
“The incubator model worked perfectly for me. I think it’s easy to underestimate the intangible benefits that come with working around others with similar goals. I will definitely miss this at my new workshop, but know we will continue to celebrate our success together.”
