SMALL and medium-sized enterprises in Bradford have been urged to apply for part of a national £9.7 million support grant.
The national Manufacturing Growth Programme (MGP), which is funded by ERDF and delivered by Economic Growth Solutions (EGS), will provide access to specialist assistance to help firms grow and improve.
This will be achieved through a 19-strong network of experienced Manufacturing Growth Managers, access to industry specialists and the opportunity to apply for grants of up to £3,500.
Support can be used for areas including leadership and management training, productivity and capacity, quality systems and supply chain development, and is open to the majority of SME manufacturers in the city and surrounding areas.
MGP’s network of manufacturing growth managers will work with firms on completing a strategic business review. For more information, go to manufacturinggrowthprogramme.co.uk.
