Growth Hubs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that support offered by Growth Hubs is not only used in places of concentrated wealth.
Answered by Blair McDougall
The Growth Hub network comprises 38 local business support bodies delivered by or via local authorities in England. DBT provides funding to authorities for their Growth Hubs to deliver a core service and to act as local delivery partners for the new Business Growth Service. Hubs provide advice and access to support across a broad range of business needs for businesses of any size, sector or ownership structure within their footprint, via a free and impartial single point of contact. Authorities have the freedom to shape and enhance their Growth Hub’s support offer to meet local business and economic needs.
