Manufacturing Growth Programme
The Manufacturing Growth Programme will provide free advice and support to manufacturing SMEs to help identify opportunities and create plans for growth and improvement, work with the best external experts to implement those plans.
The consultancy grant value will be based on 43% of project spend in the SCR area – with an anticipated average project spend of £5k (grant £2150) and 33% in the D2N2 overlap area (grant value £1650). The minimum grant we can offer is £1000 were companies are looking at smaller scale project spend of a minimum £2326 (SCR) or £3030 (D2N2).
There is capital funding available, but limited to only £50k in total grant value per year (for the programme), so this will be reserved for high impact projects and is likely to be assessed on a competitive basis.
