TESTIMONIALS

‘It’s very easy to feel isolated when critical decisions are required under pressure. I have been part of the Plato Programme for the past year and have found it extremely beneficial in this regard. It is a great opportunity to articulate concerns and issues that require a more expansive discussion.’
Gerard O’Meara, SBA Architects

‘What can I say about Plato? During the programme my business came on leaps and bounds. I employed new staff, incorporated new systems and formed a strategy for my business.’
Suzanne White, Athrú Solutions

'We recently joined Plato Dublin because we felt we needed to learn more about the running of the business in order to take it to the next level. We also saw it as an opportunity to tap into something that would motivate and re-energise us, and it has delivered.'
Maria Kenaney, Rototherm Ltd

According to a recent survey of Plato participants by the DCU Business School, 93% of small businesses are better equipped to plan specific management practices.
