BUSINESS CLINIC - GROWTH HUB

Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Growth Hub - Business1-2-1 Support Clinics

Our Business Clinics take place in a variety of locations across Staffordshire, so there will always be support available to you, regardless of your location. The clinics are great a way for you to discuss your business needs and ideas with one of our qualified business advisors, where teas and coffees will be provided on the day.

Our Growth Hub Advisors are people who understand the day-to-day pressures of running a business. They can work with you to overcome barriers, solve problems and develop a strategy for growth. They all have specific knowledge of certain areas of Staffordshire, and work closely with the relevant local authorities.

They provide a highly personalised and tailored service, which is backed up by an excellent all round knowledge of business support. As well as helping your company grow, we want to help you create jobs. We have a number of partner organisations where we can signpost you to look at grant funding and business support.

This is a one to one appointment opportunity, private and confidential. We will contact you nearer the date to arrange a suitable time for you to attend on the day. However, if you are unable to make that date and would like us to visit you on an alternative date, please email our Growth Hub events team at events@stokestaffsgrowthhub.co.uk
