Technology Start-up Programme in Coventry & Warwickshire
Hike Caribbean.
Hike Caribbean was started early 2018 to offer hiking holidays in the Caribbean islands. Initially covering six islands (Antigua, St Lucia, Guadeloupe, Montser-rat, St Kitts and Nevis) the business was set up by two friends, Aidan McCauley and Rob Davies who both share passion for hiking in the Caribbean.
Rob said “we wanted to the Caribbean islands”.
Rob runs the UK arm of the business on his own and he lacked local support and help in developing the new busi-ness. Having found information about CUE online, Rob was surprised and delighted by the amount and breadth of support on offer for a new business start-up.
Rob said ”Initial help was around key areas we felt we needed more support, namely accounting for a new business and social media. We also benefited from the Accelerator Day which helped us refine our business proposition. More recently we have had support from a business coach around marketing, specifically defining and testing our core market.”
‘Hike Caribbean has benefited from CUE support by enabling it to develop it’s proposition, whilst also addressing specific needs of our business around social media marketing and accounting.’
Rob said “CUE has been easy to our business growing in the New Year with the continued help of CUE.”
