Why I Wanted to Give the Business a Go - Daniela

I have always been a proactive person so Sustainable Futures NI for me, is the best way to find employment rather than waiting for a job to appear in the newspaper. It became clear very quickly that jobs in Northern Ireland are limited within sustainable development so by establishing a consultancy we can create employment. Freddie and I share similar interests but specialise in different fields and can therefore complement each other in terms of the expertise we offer.

Following a presentation at Queen’s University, Jude Stephens our Course Conveyor, suggested the possibility of consultancy work. Nick Mack also felt it could be a useful approach to finding work that day. I had never seriously considered consultancy work prior but at this point it appeared an attractive option. I have the inclination, wit and temperament to be self-employed so why not pursue this path? Consultancy allows me freedom and choice in comparison to traditional employment, and affords me the opportunity to build experience within sustainable development.

At this point, Freddie and I are investigating all avenues to get the Sustainable Futures NI name out there to people who are interested. With a fresh approach we relish the challenge ahead of us and have an unwavering enthusiasm for applying our knowledge of sustainable development to help businesses in Northern Ireland. As our business grows we will update this blog to document our journey and we hope to report on a busy few months in the run up to the New Year! Here we go…
