Net Zero

Together for our planet

Even the smallest businesses produce carbon emissions – it could be through your building, your vehicles or your supply chain. The UK government is asking you to commit to cutting those carbon emissions in half by 2030 and to reach ‘net zero’ by 2050. Visit the UK Business Climate Hub to learn more.

Our Enterprise Advisors will guide you through the array of support for net zero ambitions.

“The West of England Growth Hub is an extremely useful service to discuss ideas and get expert feedback. When you’ve got strategic business decisions to make and you need fresh eyes to look at the problem and discuss it with you, they’re perfect. It’s free business consultancy that is tailored to exactly what you need.”

Our support helped Muelaner secure an Innovate-UK Smart Grant to fund an 18-month period focused on new product development – an innovative folding e-bike. 

“The Growth Hub has helped us enormously, especially with the pivot of the business.  It could be introductions to sector counterparts within the catering and hospitality sector, as well as things like the Accountancy Support programme to enable long term financial thinking for the business, as well as the Tech for Growth programme so we can make the customer journey much more effective and enjoyable.”

“The West of England Growth Hub was able to give us a considerable amount of support. That support was really invaluable.”

With the support of the Growth Hub’s Trading Better Online programme (revised to Tech for Growth), Turtle Tots invested in their website and social media presence. They also drew on the Growth Hub’s expertise to protect and grow their intellectual property.
