What support they received
The business received a grant from the Newhaven Business Grants Programme. This funding was used to purchase state-of-the-art automation equipment and upgrade their control systems.
How this has helped the business
- Enhanced service capabilities: Invested in cutting-edge technology to provide better solutions.
- Increased efficiency: Upgraded infrastructure for improved operational efficiency.
- Employment growth: Created new job opportunities and safeguarded existing positions.
- Market expansion: Enabled the company to enter new markets and attract more clients.
The new units have proved invaluable in gaining access to smaller sites/driveways. Following the purchase of the units we have managed to secure three small projects within the private sector (Home Owners) in London, which is a very competitive market. I am sure if we had to include a cost of hired units we would not have secured these projects.
