What Our Clients Say

Potting with gale
Gale Whitby
“Generator has impacted my business tremendously; it has provided me with a space to network and meet other business minded people. I have received the necessary support I needed regarding completing a CIC online application. I believe this space will be great for anyone working at home or just needing a different view. You can concentrate and get more done in a day’s work.

Generator offers a lot; you only need to ask and Michael will make it happen. I’m hoping to set up as a CIC in the near future with the guidance and support I’ve received today; this means that I can move forward with my business plans.”
