The Growth Hub provides independent diagnosis and referrals to existing business support services. We are the first point of contact for businesses wishing to develop and grow. Our Service works in partnership with existing local and national business support services and will help businesses access the right support for them without duplicating existing provision.
Our Advisers are armed with information about local and national business support schemes, services and events.
Please note, unless our Advisers inform you otherwise, the Growth Hub does not deliver the business support service that we will introduce businesses to.
