Dean Clarke, a New Enterprise Allowance participant - R3v3r3nt Skateboards (pronounced Reverent)
Dean ,26, had always dreamed of using his creativity to make a living.
Being unemployed for a while he spoke to his Jobcentre Plus adviser about New Enterprise Allowance, help and support available from Jobcentre Plus to start your own business. In February 2013, he launched R3v3r3nt which provides custom designed skateboards and his own clothing brand.
Dean said: “The help and assistance I’ve had from my Jobcentre Plus advisers has been invaluable. I intend for r3v3r3nt skateboards to be a global skate brand that stands for quality, value and expression”.
