East Riding businesses have received a boost through £1.5 million in grants and a range of tailored support programmes, driven by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC). These initiatives, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and the Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF), aim to support local businesses across various sectors.
The Invest East Yorkshire Business Support Services, a key element of ERYC’s offering, has been instrumental in delivering this support. The services include expert advice, networking opportunities, and workshops on key topics such as sustainability, tourism, and supply chain management. In partnership with local universities, government agencies, and private sector organisations, the team has ensured that assistance reaches businesses throughout the region, with a special focus on Bridlington and Goole.
In total, 189 businesses have secured over £1.5 million in grant funding, leading to the creation of 161 new jobs. In addition, nearly 1,500 businesses have benefited from direct support, with 207 entrepreneurs becoming business-ready and 45 new ventures established. This initiative highlights the region’s dedication to promoting business growth and innovation.
