At last there is somewhere to go for advice and support to help your business grow!!

We are constantly told that there is help available but how do you find it?
We understand you don’t have time when you are running a business to search through the 150 plus providers and schemes so we now have a resident local Business Support Navigator to do this for you and it is a free service for all businesses in our area.


Here are a few examples to give you a taste of what is available.


Did you know …..
•    There are grants of between £5,000 & £250,000 for businesses that wish to grow and increase employment?
•    There will be a new Business Start-up Hot House program starting in the autumn which provides 2 day boot camps 10 business workshops, 10 business coaching sessions   and 10 peer to peer mentoring sessions.
•    You could have a talented Intern in a focused role within the creative, digital, media and technology and green sector.  This 6 week Grant Assisted programme helps reduce the risks associated with taking on new talent.
These are just a few examples from the 150+ initiatives available and it is great to have someone to use as your single point of reference to access these Business Support & Growth Initiatives.

The aim is to help business growth by having a direct contact based locally providing
•    One-to-one support from Business Support Navigators
•    Signposting and referrals to local and national schemes supporting business growth 
•    Connecting businesses to business support groups and organisations
