A new programme has been launched to help Staffordshire businesses in the construction, maintenance and professional services sectors accelerate their growth.
The Build and Scale programme offers tailored support to businesses looking to boost productivity, create jobs and increase turnover and profitability.
Successful applicants will work with a growth consultant to tackle barriers and develop a clear growth strategy.
Robin Hall, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for economy and skills, said: “We know there are ambitious businesses across Staffordshire with the potential to grow, create jobs and contribute even more to our local economy.
“The Build and Scale programme is about giving those businesses access to the expertise, support and challenge they need to take the next step.
“If we want higher productivity, better-paid jobs and stronger local communities, we need successful businesses. That means backing entrepreneurs, supporting innovation and helping companies turn ambition into growth. This programme is another practical step towards building a stronger Staffordshire economy.”
To qualify, businesses must be between two and five years old and be based in Staffordshire (excluding Stoke-on-Trent).
