The newly launched ‘Commissioning Access Programme’ aimed at enabling Social enterprises to tender for Local Authority Commissions and the Social Accounting Pilot measuring the impact of funding through programmes such as Investing in Communities and Capacity Builders are adding to the increased visibility of the organisation.

Jeremy K.V. Joslin (Business Development Manager) Jeremy’s background is primarily financial having spent some 30 years in this field. During this time however he has held a number of posts encompassing, Business advice, Health and Safety, Management, Sales/Marketing and Regulated Financial Planning.

More recently Jerry ( as he prefers to be called) has been fortunate enough to utilise these skills in a coaching/mentoring capacity assisting the long term unemployed move away from benefits and into either employment or self employment. Prior to joining Realise and 4th Angle he managed an ESF/LSC project geared once again to ‘welfare to work’ and working closely with a wide range of community partnerships.

Jerry has been married for 26 years and have two children, 14 and 20 and when given the chance, enjoys fishing, music and chilling out with the family.

“I see 4th Angle as an important extension of the Realise project and as a professional ‘launch pad’ for the promotion of Social Enterprise in Suffolk and the Eastern Region.
I firmly believe that there is great potential for the business community and enterprises to integrate more and benefit from one another for the common good. It is therefore vital that awareness is raised, in order that the real value that enterprises can bring to businesses in the community, is identified and fully utilised.” Jeremy Joslin.

Stephen Watt currently works as an Economic Development Project Officer with Suffolk County Council His remit includes Social Enterprise and the rural economy. He also manages 5 business centres on the council's behalf. Stephen Studied Economics at the University of Dundee where he gained a 1st Class Honours MA. During his 4 years at University he worked for a voluntary sector company called Sense Scotland as a support worker. He also held a voluntary post as business and marketing manager for a local theatre company.

He believes the economics and business background twinned with his understanding of the voluntary sector give him a good grounding to take up the position of a Director with 4th Angle. He believes 4th Angle and the social enterprise sector as a whole has an ideal opportunity to show what they can deliver in this current climate of considerable change.
