A COUPLE are enjoying a taste of business success thanks to a scheme for entrepreneurs.
Stephen Sutcliffe and Joanne Shaw set up Estense in Rawtenstall earlier this year after joining the FirmBase business start up programme. They received help under the ELTEC scheme through the Rossendale Enterprise Trust.
"We both put a lot of effort into getting the restaurant up and running but I don't think we could have got it off the ground so successfully without FirmBase," said Stephen, 25.
The couple launched the restaurant, which specialises in Italian food, after both working in restaurant management.
