May Day design, manage and deliver enterprise development initiatives (of from 3 months to 3 years duration) for development bodies and statutory organisations fostering enterprise at local, regional and national levels.

Enterprise Development Initiatives we have recently been involved in include:

• For Fáilte Ireland (The Irish Tourism Authority)- 2006-2008 The Midwest Region Tourism Learning Networks - 150 participating tourism businesses in Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary.
• For FÁS (Ireland’s Training & Employment Authority) the Mid West Region Business Development Cluster Programme 2008 – one-to-one marketing consultancy to SME manufacturing and service businesses in the Mid West Region. The consultancy completed a similar programme for FÁS in 2006 & 2007.

Why enterprise agencies chose May Day for their critical initiatives

• We know what it takes to launch, programme and sustain sectoral learning/company development initiatives from our experience as consultants, as business trainers & mentors over the past 23 years
• We understand the difficulties Micro businesses and SMEs face in seeking to up-skill and to scale, especially in the current challenging economic environment
• We understand the ethos, aims and objectives of sponsoring agencies in setting up their projects, having worked with over 20 City and County Enterprise Boards, Chambers of Commerce, FÁS, Shannon Development and Fáilte Ireland
• Our cost-effective operation delivers maximum professional inputs with the minimum overheads for the budget available to these projects
• We have a reputation for integrity, professionalism and a passion for what we are engaged in. These qualities are key ingredients in building credibility for business development initiatives with the Micro/SME sectors – e.g. we recruited 150 tourism Micro/SMEs for the Fáilte Ireland Tourism Learning Network Project because of the trust we enjoy with the tourism sector.
• We have developed effective and accountable systems for member recruitment; for administration and reporting; programming, including determining participant members training needs; recruiting expert trainers and mentors; training programme promotion; venue management; ongoing publicity and web communication; member communication; team facilitation; financial management
