LH. How long has Kings Cross working been up and running?
RM. It is now in its 19th month.
LH. I’ve had a look at the website, does Camden Council Fund this Project?
RM. Camden doesn’t directly fund it. We get funding from the London Development Agency, The Learning Skills Council and the European Social Fund.
LH. What are the benefits of working with such a wide range of best practice practitioners?
RM. Capacity and Diversity. We also have training providers in-house.
LH. Is there room for the group of best practice practitioners to increase or do you think that it is at its maximum size already?.
RM. We are physically (office space) limited at the moment but there is a great deal of room for future growth.
LH. Do you only offer services to businesses in the Kings Cross area?
RM. No, we also offer services to individuals in Kings Cross. Our remit is to provide sustainable employment for residents in Camden and Islington but we are not just limited to the Kings Cross area.
Our thanks to Ray Manning.
