Wessex Partnerships Limited

The level of Wessex Partnerships / Roberts knowledge within the training sector and funding applications is outstanding. The speed of work and ability to meet the very tight deadline was just amazing. Overall, 22 bids/funding applications were prepared for us, all of which are the highest quality bids I have ever read and submitted. I would definitely use their services in the future.

The main benefit for me working with Wessex Partnerships is increased access to funding streams that I did not know were available.

Wessex Partnerships came in at a pivotal moment in the development of relationships with schools and colleges, and quickly grasped the remit for the research. They worked flexibly alongside academics to make the most of opportunities to test ideas and theories as they arose, and helpfully pulled out interim data at short notice when asked. The final report was coherent and comprehensive.

When it comes to grant finance advice Wessex Partnerships stands out for professionalism, helpfulness & knowledge.

Robert Bentley is a font of knowledge and ideas. I highly recommend Wessex Partnerships for grant finance in Fareham

We were attracted to working with Wessex Partnerships based on their reputation and track record. They were excellent on this complex project, exceeding our expectations.

The WPL team worked in a very professional manner and allowed us to focus on the areas of work that we were best at. Moreover, they took responsibility for leading on key sections and helped project manage the whole bid writing process.

The training provided by Wessex Partnerships offered Southampton City Council?s Community Regeneration Team gave some practical and useful techniques in designing projects, writing winning funding applications and developing partnerships.

This ensured common understanding of the principles involved, and raised skill levels/confidence for future activity in these areas.

John Connelly

The Wessex Partnerships team were an asset to our organisation, by having an outside view from experts who knew what they were talking about allowed us to develop our thinking. As a result of working with them, they helped us to develop a steering group of professionals to drive forward the project into the future, and professionally liaised with all of the different organisations that had an active interest in the project, a complicated job.

Wessex were very supportive, especially as many of the legal matters were very complicated and have a good combination of skills ? Robert is very knowledgeable in the area of fundraising, and Andrew is very detailed on legal matters, and very dynamic.

Wessex Partnership assisted us with a bid application for an educational programme for rural producers, improving their business skills. After winning the bid, we asked them to help deliver the project. They have a unique set of skills and good experience in what they do, and this knowledge meant that they knew exactly what was required. We simply did not have the time or specialist skills to write the bid, so they took this hassle away from us which was excellent. Winning the bid means that HampshireCounty Council can provide this training service and improve the skills of people in Hampshire, and I would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Wessex Partnerships Limited in Farehamreally do have specialist skills in bid writing; their knowledge is up to date with recent regulations and guidelines that exist, which is especially important as the voluntary and community sectors are encouraging more social enterprises to take advantage of public funding. During our experience with them, they were very accommodating, there wasn?t anything that they couldn?t do for you, and they would always ?squeeze? you in if you had something urgent that needed their attention.

Linda Taylor

Wessex Partnerships Limited has great expertise in the voluntary sector, great research methods and brilliant communication skills. They knew what they were talking about, and their writing skills lead to 2 major bids being accepted, which we couldn?t have done without them.

May I, on behalf of everyone at ShaftesburySchool, thank Wessex Partnerships in Fareham for the huge effort you invested in the Plan. The success will transform the lives of many young people for years to come, and they and we are indebted to you.

Wessex Partnerships provide a totally professional service and ensures that the customer relationship is established early and built upon. Both Robert and Louise are highly knowledgeable and experienced in their own fields.

I was completely satisfied with the service provided

Robert at Wessex Partnerships was a dedicated member of the board of IBP for 10 years. His knowledge was invaluable, as was his enthusiasm and sense of realism. I was grateful for his support.

John Bullen

I worked with Robert earlier this year on a tender proposal for consultancy work in connection with work based learning in the legal sector. Robert brought a great deal of experience and know-how to the process and our proposals were very well received by the commissioning body.

David Whitney

Robert is an extremely knowledgable person operating in the field of grants and finance. He has been of great help to me in a number of "public spirited" projects. His organisation is one of the best I know in this field.

My company needed help in accessing Government funding. We found the expertise within Wessex Partnerships to be of a high order and that the staff quickly grasped our needs and provided more help than we believed we were paying for. Overall, we considered the service to be of exceptional value
