"I am so grateful that Adam, Louisa and Denise saw the potential in our home. Having double-glazed windows and doors has made a real impact to our residents and at one of their regular residents’ meetings they said the home was much warmer and brighter."
"Our partnership with Adam Plumb from the Coventry and Warwickshire Growth Hub has been invaluable. He regularly informs us of available funding opportunities that support our focus on staff development."
"We discovered we were eligible for a 50 per cent match-funded grant and it wasn’t difficult to fill in the forms because those involved were helpful and made it as easy as possible. It’s fair to say the Growth Hub has been a massive source of help since 2015.”
“The Growth Hub is essential for businesses trying to grow because it can be difficult to raise finance for the plant and equipment in our sector and having the Growth Hub’s support can make all the difference in securing that finance."
"The grants have been very much appreciated and Coventry and Warwickshire is very small business minded and I think it is among the best in the country for helping our community."
“We work with many housebuilders who are striving towards net zero for their business and we’re delivering windows and doors to help them achieve that. It took two months to install the LED lights and we are also helping our business to meet the same objectives as our customers."
“We’re now getting more and more repeat business. With companies strategies for zero-carbon or off setting carbon initiatives, particularly with developers and Local Authorities, we're assisting them with their targets since we have a zero-carbon and sustainable product.”
"I’d met Adam from the Growth Hub so I contacted him to see if there were any grants available and we are really grateful for his support."
