We’re proud to announce our latest local business partnership is with The Growth Hub, helping us to empower local SMEs through our ethical procurement platform. This collaboration strengthens our shared mission to help Gloucestershire’s SMEs grow, compete, and win, supporting us to co-educate and co-create local economic value. We see this partnership as a vital one to supporting the regional SMEs we have here.

This collaboration supports our shared commitment to strengthening the Gloucestershire economy by:

  1. Supporting SME growth
  2. Encouraging ethical and sustainable procurement
  3. Building stronger local supply chains
  4. Helping buyers and suppliers connect more efficiently

Together, we’re making procurement accessible, transparent, and local-first, benefitting both SMEs and our wider business community.

As part of the partnership, we hosted our first public event at the Forest of Dean Growth Hub, bringing together expert advisors on the key aspects of public procurement. Read the full story +
