“By drawing on the expertise of our advisers, business owners can address their key challenges and we can provide essential guidance when and where it is most needed.”

Re-Start to Growth starts with bosses talking to a Growth Hub adviser to identify their biggest challenges before an action plan is drawn up. The business can also be signposted to other support to aid recovery.

Mr Muir added: “Growth Hub advisers all have many years of industry experience, from manufacturing and the service sector to finance and international operations and offer an independent, impartial perspective which can make all the difference.”

If further help is required the Re-Start to Growth+ (Plus) offers two more days of support.

Mr Muir added: “The Growth Hub acts as a ‘gateway’ so that your business can access support when you need it the most and within the shortest timeframe.”
