A MALVERN firm is the latest to benefit manufacturing support funding programme.
The Manufacturing Growth Programme (MFG), which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund and delivered by Economic Growth Solutions (EGS)has just delivered its latest grant to boost the fortunes of Malvern-based English Braids, taking its total contribution to small and medium firms to more than £200,000.
The funding boosts to the firms have ensured 73 new jobs have been created.
Martin Coats, managing director at EGS, said: "We are continually proving that the right support, delivered at the right time and by the right people, can make a significant difference to manufacturers.
"Over £200,000 has been awarded in the form of grants so far and this has been used by firms across Worcestershire to improve the way they manufacture, launch new products or access additional/new markets.
"This has already equated to 73 new jobs, with 44 more expected to be created once projects are completed.”
"The difference with MGP is that it is delivered by manufacturing experts who understand the challenges companies are facing."
