High Growth Accelerator Programme - Contract Award Notice

Contract Award Notice confirming the award of a contract for the High Growth Accelerator Programme for the period 05/06/24 to 31/03/25. The aim of this programme is to provide intensive and in-depth support for 50 high-growth SMEs (as defined by sections 382 and 465 of the Companies Act) in the West Midlands, ending in March 2025. The support will help these firms to manage their growth in a more sustainable way, ensuring that their growth continues higher, longer, and more sustainably than may have been without the support. We define a "high-growth firm" as an enterprise with average annualised growth in employees or turnover greater than 20 percent per annum, over a two-year period, and with a turnover of greater than £1 million per annum in the most recent accounts (or which has raised more than £500,000 in equity from external investors).
