D2N2 Growth Hub celebrates four years in business

The D2N2 Growth Hub marked its fourth ‘birthday’ today (December 6), welcoming to a celebration event some of the more than 7,000 businesses it has engaged with.

Launched in December 2014, by the then Business and Enterprise Minister Matthew Hancock MP (right of picture below), the D2N2 Growth Hub uses its wide range of (mostly free or heavily subsidised) services to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Services offered through Growth Hub advisors include help with starting and growing a business, accessing growth finance, training and skills development, leadership training, and expanding into new and international markets.
