Growth Hub Service Update
Cornwall Council has secured investment from the Department for Business and Trade to continue delivering a Growth Hub service for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, subject to contract.
Following the conclusion of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund programme, a revised Growth Hub service is now being developed. This new service will reflect a different funding model and a reshaped approach to business support.
Support for businesses remains available during this transition.
