Social Enterprise and Co-operative Development

We offer practical advice and support for new and existing small businesses in the South West. We are specialists and have a great deal of expertise and experience in developing social enterprise and co-operatives.

Our clients work in a wide range of sectors; from food to ICT, recycling to regeneration.  We have a strong track record of working with Local Authorities and Public Agencies to support the local economy.

The Fruit Tree For Business is a partnership created by Debbie Stewart and Lorna Turner. Between us we have over 40 years of business experience across the sectors.  The experience of running our own business means we understand the reality, not just the theory.

We work with a number of schemes that enable us to provide our advice for free. These change regularly so please get in touch to find out more.
