Who is behind this?

My name is Paul Read and I started DRIFT as a side project to support people who want to start a business, improve their charity and grow their social enterprise.
I am a SFEDI accredited business adviser with over 12 years of experience supporting people from all backgrounds and all sectors.  In that time I have specialised in creative start-ups, charities and social enterprises, but I am happy to speak to anyone from any sector and at any stage of their business or social journey.
