“Thanks to Cumbria Business Growth Hub, I transformed setbacks into opportunities, and today, I help businesses thrive in the digital world. Thanks to my business coach I’ve learned that language barriers and personal struggles can hold everyone back, but when you are fuelled by passion, you can achieve your goals. I embrace every challenge with gratitude, knowing that every step brings me closer to my dreams.”

“Switching careers in our late 20s with no business experience was tough, but the Growth Hub’s aid was crucial. Our mentor, Juan, guided us in formulating and actioning our plans. This support really helped us to push forward when we needed it the most and we are also incredibly grateful for the access to the various grants and free trainings provided by the Growth Hub.”

“Justine’s guidance was invaluable, particularly while preparing my application to the NEA scheme, imparting advice from budgeting and insurance to where I might find additional support. The scheme afforded me some additional financial support and confidence whilst establishing the business.”
