Client Feedback
Client Comments:
“We are privileged to be able to access SEDA business development services at walking distance from where we operate from. This is a huge relief as we used to struggle having to travel to East London. Now we are able to save on travelling costs and the training we have received has helped a lot in understanding how to manage our business better”.
