Strategy for growth it something I hadn’t addressed, my approach before Accelerator was more follow my nose.”“ The Accelerate programme has forced us to look at our business critically, and to work on the why of it - why do we do what we do, is it the right thing to do in our location, and who are we doing it for? These are all really difficult questions, and have led to a lot of changes.” This event is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.The UK Shared Prosperity Fund is a central pillar of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda and provides £2.6 billion of funding for local investment by March 2026.
