There are still grants available for Nelson businesses as part of the Nelson Town Deal.
One such business that has already benefitted from a grant is Precision Tube & Laser Ltd who received £100,000 towards the cost of a £400,000 laser cutter.
The grant also helped to generate 11 new full-time jobs at the business premises on Pendle Industrial Estate, Southfield Street, Nelson.
Nelson businesses can apply for similar grants by contacting Mike Williams, Economic Development Officer at Pendle Borough Council, via email michael.williams@pendle.com or by calling 01282 661963.
The money can be used for investment in new machinery, initiatives to lower CO2 emissions and energy consumption, and building improvements to support growth.
Councillor Asjad Mahmood, Leader of Pendle Borough Council, the Council’s Portfolio Holder for Growth and Regeneration and Nelson Town Deal board member, said: “The Business Resilience and Growth Project is one of seven within the £25m Nelson Town Deal and is designed to promote sustainable growth in the area, create jobs and provide new opportunities for local people.
“Precision Tube & Laser Ltd - which specialises in laser cutting and bending services for both tube and flat bed sheet metal - was established in 2023, taking over premises previously run by Pendle Engineering.
“Since then, the company has developed and expanded, and I am pleased we have been able to play a part in this with the financial help we have been able to provide.”
Director at Precision Tube & Laser Ltd, Julia Wallbank, added: “We are deeply grateful to Pendle Borough Council for the generous grant, which has empowered us to grow our business and create valuable employment opportunities for our dedicated team."
