£750,000 manufacturing boost creates more than 350 jobs in Yorkshire
358 new jobs have been created at SMEs across Yorkshire due to a support programme providing a £750,000 boost.
The Manufacturing Growth Programme, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and delivered by Economic Growth Solutions (EGS), has just delivered its latest grant to boost the fortunes of Leeds-based TI Security.
This assistance has been directed towards improving marketing activities, penetrating new sectors, developing business strategy and R&D work.
Martin Coats, managing director at EGS, said: “We are continually proving that the right support, delivered at the right time and by the right people, can make a significant difference to manufacturers.
“Nearly £750,000 has been awarded in the form of grants so far and this has been used by firms across Yorkshire to improve the way they manufacture, launch new products or access additional/new markets. This has already equated to 358 new jobs, with 150 more expected to be created once projects are completed.”
He continued: “The difference with MGP is that it is delivered by manufacturing experts who understand the challenges companies are facing. They understand the language MDs are talking and can guide them on making the right decisions, before bringing in specialists on specific issues they are facing or opportunities they’re looking to explore.”
