Local enterprise partnerships

What is the CWLEP Growth Hub?

The Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) Growth Hub acts as a single point of contact for businesses within the borough wishing to grow by providing free information, advice and support and offers specialist advice and support from a team of experienced and accredited account managers, who also act as a signpost to a range of services from organisations across the region.

The Growth Hub is a key element of the Coventry & Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnerships (CWLEP) City Deal proposition. The Growth Hub is supported by the council, other local authorities, the Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, the University of Warwick, Coventry University, colleges and independent training bodies in Coventry & Warwickshire, the Business Growth Service (incorporating the Manufacturing Advisory Service, UK Trade & Investment, and Growth Accelerator), the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, Department for Communities & Local Government and the Skills Funding Agency.

An account manager will be assigned to businesses who express an interest in growth by working with them on a one to one basis to broker and offer free advice and support on:

• Innovation - supporting businesses in creating new products, processes and services
• International trade - assisting companies which have a potential to start and expand their trading overseas
