Digital firm plugs into business growth

By Dean

27 Nov 2015

Photocopier and print solutions supplier Key Digital has significantly expanded its workforce after taking part in Boost Business Lancashire’s Growth Mentoring programme.

The Burnley-based business recruited two full-time and two part-time staff to handle additional growth generated by taking part in the programme.

Boost Business Lancashire is the £7.2m Lancashire Business Growth Hub, offering free and part-funded business support to ambitious and growing businesses.

Paul had the experience and skills to support the mentoring process and was also able to share experiences that helped Andy to formulate an effective business development plan.

“It was crucial to have a sounding board – someone who had experienced business growth and all the challenges that come with this. Also, I needed someone who could ask the important questions to ensure the strategy I came up with would achieve the right outcomes.”

Meanwhile, Community & Business Partners will ensure that Andy is aware of events and networking opportunities where business opportunities may arise, as well as offering further support.

“This leads to new understanding and eventually forms the vital few actions in their growth plans that make a huge difference to business performance. This is one such case and Key Digital has certainly demonstrated the impact through its improved growth.” Boost is delivered by Lancashire County Council and the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership, and supported by money from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Boost has supported more than 2,800 businesses and created more than 900 jobs since it launched in July 2013.
