About

About

​At Supersonic Startup we strive to be the best self-employment training provider we can be. We specialise in helping people overcome barriers to set up their own businesses and transform their lives, by providing revolutionary results based-learning and ground-breaking technology. We inspire, teach and mentor individuals to realise their supersonic dreams.

​

  • We recognise that people with additional barriers have what it takes to start up on their own and become their own boss, but are often intimidated by mainstream business support

  • Our research led us to run a programme that is practical, inclusive and values confidence building and self-esteem, as much as the practical steps to starting up on your own

  • With the right support, self-employment is a fantabulous option for ex-offenders restricted by disclosure in the traditional job market, lone parents who can manage their work around childcare and people with mental or physical disabilities who can manage their work around their condition

  • Not only do we provide perfectly practical business support, but we know it is essential to build confidence and self-esteem for people to flourish

  • Our highly qualified and friendly business advisors, fully understand the barriers participants face and we use tried and tested techniques to help them overcome the many inner challenges they can come up against

  • We are aware that mainstream business support is either too expensive or not fit for purpose for this client group, so we work with you to provide and facilitate the training and support required to help them empower their lives.

Lockton Insurance MDP Feedback

ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS IN BELMARSH PRISON

​

As part of our caring culture, we want to empower people and communities to achieve their ultimate potential. A great example of this, was when some Associates recently went into Belmarsh prison to mentor prisoners who are due to be released shortly. The prisoners volunteered to receive a day of self-employment training from their Lockton mentors before pitching their business plan in a ‘Dragons’ Den’ format.

​

Feedback from the prisoners was very positive who appreciated the support from experienced people and the chance to change their lives in a profound way. The program increased the prisoners’ skill set and gave them a wider perspective to take into the workplace. The Associate mentors were able to diversify their communication and managerial skills and obtain a wider perspective to take back into the workplace. Some of the comments Associates had about the experience included:

​

“It is hard to put into words how amazing the whole day was. One of the prisoners described it as an “atmosphere of hope”. I feel immensely proud to have had the opportunity to support the mentees in their potential careers and encourage others in Lockton to become involved in the future.”

​

“One of the prisoners mentioned that the course made them feel, just for a day, that they weren’t in prison and were being treated as professionals. Listening to the group presenting their business plans made me also feel as if I was not in a prison – the amount of talent and kindness in the room was inspiring.”

“It was truly one of the most, if not the most valuable and worthwhile activities I have been a part of in all my time at Lockton.”

​

“The inmates said thank you for giving up your time, for giving them a day where they felt normal, to help them forget that they are in prison, that they were being treated like adults. My hope is that by giving them time and an opportunity to express themselves, we have helped with their time in prison.”

Our involvement with Belmarsh has been a great success for everyone involved and we will be reviewing if we can arrange similar days going forward!
