The whole process of working with the manufacturing growth programme has been so simple and straightforward. Everything was done to help us get the funding that we needed and the support from our coach has been a real benefit to us as a business. Thank you very much for everything and we hope to be able to get to use the programme again in the future
Elliott Hygiene LtdMGP has a very simple application process compared to other grant schemes, which means it really is an incentive to focus on “doing” improvements rather than procrastinating. SME’s are not resource rich and the MGP allows us to do work we couldn’t by bringing in external resources.
New Holland ExtractionAgain the process of working with the Manufacturing Growth Programme has been simple, straight forward and very efficient. Everything has gone really well and the funding supplied will be of massive help as our business continues to expand its operations and sales potential. Although we are only a small business at present we have very big plans which will hopefully create jobs in Lincolnshire over the coming years – accessing support such as the MGP is a real benefit to us and we hope to access more support in the future.
