Last year North Lincolnshire’s 3-year investment plan was validated by the Government, meaning that our area will be getting £6.5m worth of investment from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Last Friday I had the fantastic opportunity to see this money in action! Trent Refractories were given £14,000 from this fund to help them expand into international markets and win new clients, supporting jobs here in Scunthorpe.
The funding contributed to their programme to relaunch their company as refractory ambassadors, with new website and digital marketing. They also upgraded their internal systems.
I’d like to thank Trent Refractories for having me – it was great to see how money from the Government is supporting local businesses here in Scunthorpe.
