The upheaval of the move from Hertfordshire was worth it, according to Mark: “We made the move just over six months ago because of the better transport links and market opportunities for us in Buckinghamshire. We knew that finding business support was crucial to help us settle and give us confidence that the move was the right decision. The government seems to have strange acronyms for sources of support that make it difficult to work out just what the support or funding actually is and who it is aimed at, so discovering Buckinghamshire Business First really helped us to navigate all of the support that’s available to us.”
Through a Buckinghamshire Business First event, Mark discovered the Growth Accelerator grant programme and thanks to funding from this Ashridge Security have experienced growth of 200% in some areas of business.
Exporting is one area that Mark has his eyes on and he found support for this too. “Buckinghamshire Business First ran an event on exporting which introduced me to the UKTI Passport to Export programme which I am hopeful will lead to further growth and more opportunities in new markets.
“The whole offering from Buckinghamshire Business First is designed to produce a fertile business environment in which businesses like mine can flourish.”
