Thornbridge Hall, the Harrisons' Derbyshire mansion, is featured on another website where we can read not only about the house itself but about the Thornbridge Country House Brewing Company that's part of the Harrisons' business. Jim Harrison, Emma's husband, also has a small food company, Novantia. Lately, the Emma

Watching A4e: Emma Harrison CBE

2009 Emma Harrison CBE A4e's owner, Emma Harrison, has been given a CBE in the New Year honours list. It's "For services to Unemployed People and to the Voluntary Sector."

Watching A4e: Guardian interview with Emma

Guardian interview with Emma The Guardian today carries an article based on an interview with A4e's Emma Harrison; you can also read it on the UTV website. Written by Amelia Gentleman, it starts out as a disconcerting piece of PR for FND, as Emma is being interviewed in a mocked-up FND office (it doesn't say where) that A4e have been using to train new advisers. ' Emma Harrison, A4e's founder and chair, bubbles with enthusiasm for the new approach, which she

"Now, Emma," she writes,"is clearly an amazing lady – a sort of cross between a female Lord Sugar and Sheffield’s answer to Mother Theresa – and no doubt the most phenomenal success story. Her talk was natural, fascinating and funny." But she was less than impressed with her speech. Emma was dismissive of people whose lack of self-confidence stops them doing something; and of those who don't have a mentor and are therefore

Emma Harrison was a young graduate, suddenly landed with a company to run, and an absent father who was busy draining it of money. In 1991 Emma renamed the outfit Action for Employment (quickly abbreviated) and set about making money. She remains almost the sole owner. The breakthrough came with the

says the article, and quotes Emma Harrison at some length. 13 weeks isn't long enough for some people, she says, and she looks forward to FND which "works well with A4e’s own ethos of working with the individual and will ultimately mean we can help more people to come off benefits, get into work and improve their lives.” An impartial, well-researched bit of journalism, obviously.

Anonymous said... Emma Harrison represents a lot of what is wrong with this society. Money-sucking, dishonest people who unsuccessfully try to cover up their true natures with cliches and lip service. In her 'blog' on the A4E site, Emma minimises those who don't 'fit' in with the A4E program, pointing instead to the many who 'take all the help we have to offer and end up with jobs' (to paraphrase). The implication is clear: Emma and her minions are always

Presumably it was a good fit with New Deal, enabling A4e to put clients through short courses relatively cheaply. And it's an even better fit with FND, if the deal with Tomlinson is anything to go by. The article doesn't say whether the new staff are coming from the FND client list, but it would make sense.

going for them and I rate Emma Harrison and Mark Lovell.I don't want to be an apologist for the private sector. However it tries to respond efficiently to its customer's requirements. I believe that many of the failed private sector delivered programmes are a result of poorly thought through specifications and procurement processes. All too often the private sector is the convenient whipping boy for those who think that society is unfair. 25 October 2009 14:25
