Yield Construction - Simon Fordham

"We moved to the CEME Innovation Centre at the beginning of August 2011 and immediately felt as if we belonged there. We had been looking for office accomodation for over six months that was convenient for the M25, A13 and A12 and which offered flexibility to grow without us having to change address. As well as the excellent location CEME Innovation Centre offers us professional business support, meeting rooms and catering facilities in an environment perfect for meeting clients. The on-site networking events have already opened doors which would not have happened if we were based elsewhere."

"I have rented a few offices over the years, but none have been anywhere near as good as the CEME Innovation Cenre. The staff on reception over deliver what is expected of them and the overall experience of having an office here has been fantastic."

Advanced Professional Plumbing & Heating Services Ltd

"I came to CEME Innovation Centre in 2008 to set up a plumbing and heating company as a one man sole trader, new to the busines world. Despite having a business plan, running a start-up  was very tough and time consuming. However, the support I got from the staff at the Innovation Centre was great. There was onsite IT to help me understand how to set up my office computers and netowork them, and support staff downstairs who helped me obtain advice on how to manage staff and employment legislation. Without this assistance, I could have have stumbled upon a number of costly issues."

"I am proud to say that CEME Innovation Centre has been a contributing factor to the company's continual success. I now own a freehold office, which has had the mortgage fully paid, all within 1 year of leaving the Innovation Centre. We continue to see strong figures and have now moved into new sectors including: domestic and commercial gas and air conditioning, carpentry, electrics, and refrigeration."

Symonds Hydroclean - Glen Stewart

"After the company for whom I had worked for the last 26 years went into administration, I found myself unemployed. Unsure of what the future held, but wanting to look at every opportunity, an old colleague suggested I meet with the Centre Manager and the team at the CEME Innovation Centre – Rainham. Unsure of what to do but wanting to consider every opportunity, the team at CEME went through the options and together we explored what would be achievable. After only my second meeting with the team, my mind was firmly made up to raise the Phoenix from the ashes of my last company."

"The Innovation Centre provides a professional business environment in which to meet clients and run my business, with all the support services that I will ever need. This allows me to concentrate on building the business, whilst confident that the Centre will support me every step of the way. This sort of support is priceless."

"The CEME Innovation Centre is ideally located in the Thames Gateway with excellent train and bus services to attract local staff. The Centre also has road links with the M11 and M25 allowing easy access for customers visiting my office, as well as ample parking facilities."
