‘Cubs’ invited to become entrepreneurs of the future

INVENTORS, innovators and entrepreneurs of the future are being given the opportunity to join a business incubator scheme in Sheffield.

Sheffield-based manufacturers Gripple and Loadhog have created Incub to help realise the dreams of young entrepreneurs by fast tracking their product concepts to market.

Incub, which will be housed in a 54,000 sq ft state-of-the-art ideas and innovations facility in Sheffield.

During the development phase, the ‘Cubs’ will be employed and have access to the companies’ ideas and innovations, design, marketing, learning and development teams.

Alan Somerfield, the two companies’ ideas and innovations director, said: “The Cubs could be graduates, who have nurtured ideas during their time at university; product designers who have spotted an opportunity; or mature individuals with an idea yearning for a new challenge. Our door is wide open to them all.

“Once a product is ready to launch, they will be encouraged to grow their ideas into worldwide businesses, creating valuable jobs in South Yorkshire.”
