Natural Enterprise has a passion for making a positive impact.
As a company, we provide a wide range of services, both locally and regionally; from economic development work, extensive project delivery, through to managing European and other Rural & Economic Development Funding Programmes.
Our team combines expertise in sustainable development, supporting business, project management, communications with the depth and range of experience to deliver practical solutions for our clients and partners. Natural Enterprise bridges the different perspectives of the public and private sectors, the economy and the environment and similarly, we can draw upon our partners to ensure that in all our work there is a clear focus on delivering the value and requirements for our clients.
Based on the Isle of Wight and as part of the Island 2000 Trust charity, Natural Enterprise’s profits are reinvested for the sole benefit of the Isle of Wight, its communities and countryside.
