Every region across the UK has a local Growth Hub that have been created as support vehicles for businesses, made up of local public and private sector partnerships led by the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
These Growth Hubs provide a mechanism for integrating national and local business support so it is easier for businesses to access the help and advice they need to thrive and grow.
The Manufacturing Growth Programme delivers support across 16 LEP regions, working alongside their Growth Hubs. Here you can find out about the localised support for SME manufacturers outside of the national guidance from government – each Growth Hub is creating updates for businesses in their local authority areas:
