Full network of 39 growth hubs boost business support across the country

Thirty-nine growth hubs giving 4.7 million businesses across England ready access to the support they need to start up, scale up and create more jobs are now launched, Business Minister Anna Soubry announced today (14 May 2016) ahead of the start of Growth Hub Week.
