Hear from the businesses we’ve supported
After working with our Innovation Specialists, clean-tech start-up Vector Homes forecasted year one sales of £80,000 and created two new jobs.
The business is revolutionising within the sustainable housing space, by creating smart, affordable, and eco-friendly housing solutions.
“One of the things that’s enabled us to keep going is that we simply haven’t been prepared to give up. And, alongside this, we’ve really put ourselves out there in terms of accessing
business support services, like that at the GM Business Growth Hub which I think is something every SME should do.”
Dr Liam Britnell, Chief Technology Officer at Vector Homes
