Aurie James

CEO, I Dare You Entertainment

“Streamlion Consulting is absolutely outstanding! They played an instrumental role in helping me successfully secure a Creative Arts Grant through Arts Council England. As a creative, I often find applications like these daunting and difficult to navigate, but the team at Streamlion was there for me every step of the way.

Their professionalism and expertise are unmatched. They guided me through the entire process with incredible care and attention to detail. From helping me craft the application wording to ensuring my ideas were presented clearly and concisely, they made sure my vision was perfectly articulated. They assisted with creating a comprehensive budget, developing a realistic project timeline, and ensuring every aspect of my application stayed on track and aligned with the grant’s objectives.

What truly stood out was their ability to understand my goals as an artist. My grant focused on developing my creative practice, particularly pioneering new areas that celebrate my diverse skills. Streamlion Consulting completely grasped my vision and translated it into a language that resonated with Arts Council England. Thanks to their support, my application was not only clear and compelling but also successful!

I’m thrilled to say that I was awarded the grant and am now actively developing my creative practice—all thanks to the exceptional guidance of Streamlion Consulting. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares about your success and knows how to navigate complex grant applications, I cannot recommend them enough. They are brilliant!”

Ant Steel

Founder, Keep It Street

“Working with Helen and her team has been a transformative experience for us. Before we connected, we had no idea that we could be eligible for grant funding. Helen took the time to thoroughly understand our business and guide us through the eligibility requirements, opening up a world of opportunities we never knew existed.

Her expertise is truly impressive, and she has a remarkable talent for conveying complex ideas clearly and concisely. Thanks to her support, we’ve applied for several grants and are making significant progress toward our goals.

If you’re considering applying for grants but feel unsure about where to start, I wholeheartedly recommend Helen. She is the perfect partner to guide you through the entire process and help you achieve success!”
Lavinia Milner

Operations Director, PLANQ

“Helen is an absolute pleasure to work with—knowledgeable, insightful, and highly experienced. She made our collaboration smooth and highly effective. What stood out the most, though, was how comfortable and familiar it felt, as if I were working with a long-time friend. I have complete trust in Helen and am delighted to recommend her services.”
Harjit Singh Chana

Founder, My Lean Coach

“Helen and her team are incredible. Their depth of knowledge. Their genuine kindness. Their skill. It was all above and beyond for a grant application team. Run, don’t walk.”
Martina Woodworth

Founder, Santa's Magic Chimney

“Helen & her team were brilliant helping us with a grant application; they took time to understand our business before being pro-active with suggestions and support during the process. Without their skills we would have given up so I would highly recommend using Streamlion. They help de-mystify the grant & bid writing process and guide you to create an excellent submission.”
Helen Shellabear

Managing Director, Shellwin Real Estate

“Helen and her team have been working with me for the last 4 months and so far I don’t have a bad word to say. Friendly, diligent, professional and just know what they are doing. We have completed our first major application with them and just starting a second. Thank you.”

Jon Ellard

Managing Director, Remanufactured Parts

“It was such a pleasure working with Helen and Jacqui on my proposal for the recent Innovate UK grant. Both are so knowledgeable, and fun to work with. They go out of their way to help. Would consider working with them again.”

Desiree Wegner

Founder, The Holistic People Collective

“Helen is exceptional; not only has she a strong skillset and wide experience, but she is strategic in her thinking, yet equally great with detail too – a rare combination in my experience. But, mostly, I’ve enjoyed working with Helen because she couples these qualities with a great sense of humour and likeable personality. She puts clients at ease rapidly, with her approachable style, great listening skills and whilst she is confident and can operate at all levels, she balances this with humility and openness. I would wholeheartedly recommend Helen to any client and will be working with her again! Results focused with a human touch.”

Andy Chilton

Sales Director, Velresco

“I can’t recommend Helen highly enough. From the moment I spoke with her I felt in safe hands. When you run your own business, it can often be a lonely time and you can make decisions, bad ones and I did. I thought that they were irreversible. Helen calmly dealt with everything in a clear and firm way – this is needed when you might not be thinking straight! She was there at the end of an email whenever I sent her a message and she got me my loan within weeks. My business is now back on track and this is even during one of the worst economic times we have every experienced and hopefully never will again. Thank you Helen – you and your business are simply amazing!”

Emma Collen

Founder, The Jericho Kitchen Cookery School

“My name is Tariq Fontana. At the start of 2019 I was looking to purchase a business in hair and beauty. I had to get a business loan to make the purchase.
I was put in touch with Helen and what can I say she made my dreams come true, owning a salon has always been my dream and Helen made it possible for me.

Helen took me through every step of the loan process and literally held my hand through it as it was all new to me and guided me through the whole process. We obtained the loan and now I am fulfilling my dream of a salon.

I could ramble on how fantastic Helen is and how helpful she was, and I am so grateful for her help 10/10.”

Tariq Fontana

Director, Phoenix Lounge

“Helen was extremely professional and consultative with her approach helping us to secure a business start-up loan, she ran through the benefits and process with complete clarity. The process was straight forward and efficient we are extremely grateful for her assistance and guidance securing our business start-up loans.”

Ben Tunnicliffe

Director, Tunnicliffe Hunt

“We all need a Helen in our life! Helen is so professional, supportive and knowledgeable, it made the process of considering and applying for the loan stress free. We were so impressed with Helen that we are building a strategic alliance, helping others who also want to become self-employed and begin their own business by having access to this amazing support. Our customers who come through our training academy and are looking for finance can now have the same support. We have worked together to create template business plans and guidance to ensure that others can also have a stress free and simple process.”

Tina Duggan

Director, Oven Loving and the Oven Cleaning Training Academy

“Just a note to thank you for your professional help and guidance on our successful application for a start up loan. I would highly recommend your services to anyone wishing to secure finance for their business.”

“I have been working with Helen for over 18 months now and I really value her help and assistance. She has prepared business plans and financial forecasts for me that have successfully secured the funding I needed to buy my business. She has also done my company valuation, found additional scale-up finance for me and is now working with me to grow my new business and optimise delivery efficiencies. Helen is always there to help and has great experience in guiding businesses to succeed. I look forward to working with her for many more months to come.”
