The project is there to assist – using the full range of the university expertise and resources to support local business’s owners and their team to address and implement new processes as well as assisting in overcoming technical barriers. The support package offers the business technical support – with a small element of capital support.

This opportunity has been open to smaller number of manufacturing businesses in the East Yorkshire area.
