PNE celebrates 30 years

A NORTH EAST based social enterprise is celebrating 30 years of delivering solutions for the development of people, performance and places in the region.

To mark its 30th birthday, PNE is launching three new initiatives to boost young entrepreneurs, reward outstanding volunteers and to enable successful business leaders to pass on what they learned from their biggest business mistakes.

Sandy Ogilvie, CEO of PNE Group said, “PNE started out in 1980 to provide innovative solutions to the region’s high unemployment problem, following the demise of its heavy industries.

“The outlook then for young people was particularly gloomy, and improving their prospects was a real focus for PNE.

“The Prime Minister has also launched his vision for a Big Society, with a focus on encouraging more social entrepreneurs and volunteers to provide services in the community. We will begin to provide solutions to the pressing issues around encouraging more entrepreneurs.”
