Reintroducing the Leeds City Region (LCR) Supply Chain Programme
As a little reminder, and for those who may not know much about us, we’re still here (albeit virtually) and we’re doing great things!
So, what’s it all about?
The LCR Supply Chain Programme is a business support programme delivered by our University that provides strategic support to SMEs in the manufacturing sector.
Business engagement is our ambition, and we thrive on helping to improve business performance, growth & supply chain strategy, for local SMEs.
Our recent success story is one we’re very proud of… During the month of May 2021, the LCR Supply Chain Programme celebrated a huge milestone by hitting a total of 200 business projects contracted to date.
“I’m extremely happy to see the programme thriving. It has been, and continues to be, so important for us to support businesses in the region. Our latest figures demonstrate successful performance, thanks to a combined effort from the advisors and team.” - Steve Gregory, Programme Director.
Let the stats do the talking…
Throughout the duration of the business support service, the LCR Supply Chain Programme has continued to not only meet but over-perform against their contracted targets. To date, we see a high volume of completed and ongoing projects, with the number of enterprises receiving support at a total of 208, and the number of enterprises receiving grants at 203, with a total grant value of £639,200.
Private investment is another considered factor and key to the economy; the programme strives to achieve private investment, which at least matches the value of the public support (grant). This goal is also performing ahead of target, with private investment equalling £899,166.
Within the enterprises supported by the LCR Supply Chain Programme, evidential figures suggest a contribution to growth and development within the industry; employment increase is at 56%, consequently creating over 300 new jobs to date, and the number of enterprises supported to introduce ‘new to the firm products’ is tracking vastly ahead of target, at 413%.
It’s safe to say, we’ve started the year as we mean to go on…
