The newly established Growth Hub is one of the key initiatives of the Plymouth and South West Peninsula City Deal and aims to co-ordinate business support across the region, collecting into one place everything a business needs to know to help it succeed and grow. 

Exeter Chamber of Commerce and Industry will host a Q&A on how to grow your business, with key players including representatives from Exeter City Council, Exeter & East Devon Growth Point, the Innovation Centre and GAIN, Plymouth University. 

Following the panel discussion, businesses will meet representatives from the University of Exeter, Exeter Business Support and UKTI as well as Exeter Chamber and the event speakers. 

Two workshops will then give delegates the chance to discover how greater connectivity and internationalising your website can help their businesses. 

GAIN Partnerships Manager Paul Glossop will outline the new business support on offer through the Growth Hub and how the services being provided by a range of partners are being co-ordinated. This includes the new Business Engagement Service helpline, staffed by GAIN’s expert advisors who can direct businesses to the most appropriate services, providers and investment support. Businesses can contact the helpline on 0800 073 2020 or email: [email protected]. Paul will also introduce the GAIN digital exchange, gaininbusiness.com, which gives business access to a growing network of south west businesses. 

GAIN Partnerships Manager Paul Glossop said: “We look forward to discussing the new opportunities presented by the Peninsula City Deal Growth Hub with Exeter businesses. We are also looking forward to hearing what they think the future looks like for Exeter and East Devon. 

“This event is an opportunity for local businesses to find out how the GAIN team and others can help them make the most of the opportunities that the Growth Hub presents.”
