The Government's Regional Growth Fund (RGF) aims to support
private sector business growth in place economies which are overly
dependent on public sector jobs. The Fund is competitive and open
to private sector applicants and public-private partnerships which
can deliver new job outputs and strong leverage of other investment
alongside RGF.
GENECON led and advised on a broad range of RGF applications in
Rounds 1 and 2 of the Fund, and have prepared a number
of successful bids including:
- a major new confectionary manufacturing plant for Haribo
in West Yorkshire;
- a new agricultural machinery manufacturing facility for Alamo
in the West Midlands;
- expanded manufacturing capacity for DI(UK) in the North West to
service the oil/gas industry;
- an investment programme for the Daedalus Business Partnership
to expand the aerospace and marine manufacturing sectors in the
Solent.
GENECON has developed a strong understanding of RGF criteria and
procedures. We can advise on project development and alignment to
RGF objectives to ensure that proposals are robust and competitive,
as well as preparing applications and all necessary supporting
analysis.
We are now aligning our advisory team to support bids into
Rounds 3 and 4 of RGF. If you have a project and
would like to discuss potential eligibility for RGF funding please
contact a member of our team.
