About this event

There are so many challenges for Retail, Tourism, Leisure, and Hospitality businesses to keep afloat given the current energy situation. Speaking to businesses and Partners on the patch, there's an appetite for an Energy session to support the sector. Warwickshire County Council has organised a webinar alongside an Energy Specialist, Rishi Sood from PSP - Place Support Partnership and the aim is to provide an insight to better understand challenges businesses are facing and provide some useful strategies to keep your energy costs down.

The session will run through support available for eligible businesses through Energy Audits; the recently launched WCC Green Recovery Grant; and in addition we will inform you of our Project Warwickshire Programme delivered by Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce. This is a webinar not to be missed and an opportunity to ask questions.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

Exeter Analytical (UK) Limited,

Thank you for the comprehensive and professional guidance

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
