Are you an SME manufacturer who could benefit from a grant?  

SMEs in the manufacturing sector have access to free advice and support from the Manufacturing Growth Programme.

The programme, backed by the European Regional Development Fund, is currently looking to expand in Warwickshire and the West Midlands so if you are a manufacturing SME, please get in touch for a free, no-obligation Manufacturing Strategic Business Review.

You will then be guided through the rest of the process by a dedicated Manufacturing Growth Manager.

The objective is to enable SMEs to bring in external skills, coaching, mentoring or bespoke consultancy to drive growth. Support is bespoke so each SME gets exactly the assistance they specifically require.

Improvement projects which we can support you with include:

• Sales and marketing
• Quality systems
• Supply chain development
• Leadership and management training
• Productivity and capacity
• Innovation and R&D
• Lean manufacturing

The Manufacturing Growth Programme (MGP) is designed to help SME manufacturers access funding towards specialist external consulting and coaching support to help overcome operating challenges and grow the business.

Grants can be claimed for up to 35% of the total cost of a project (average project: £4,000, grant: £1,400). Grants are available subject to eligibility.

Accessing the Manufacturing Growth Programme is quick and easy. Please contact your local Manufacturing Growth Manager, Michelle Connor, at michelle.connor@egs.live, call 07790 358 674 or visit www.manufacturinggrowthprogramme.co.uk

The programme is Delivered by Economic Growth Solutions Ltd, funded by ERDF.
