“S4CS is an organisation of major importance to the cultural and business landscape of the United Kingdom. The Creative sector is a major economic and cultural contributor to the UK , and it is often overlooked as a sector when it altruistic vision derived from the heart of its founder and one which servciices a need in society.

The Creative sector has a very high failure rate as do all start up businesses, and through the stakeholders involved in the S4CS, the tide is beginning to turn so far as inculcating these small creative businesses with the necessary business frame of reference to decouple them from poor advice and foster their own business independence, which ,sitting alongside their creative talents and gifts, should form a powerful and successful combination.”
