Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Growth Hub

The Growth Hub was established by the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) to drive strong, sustainable business growth across the region. It acts as a central point for businesses looking to grow, offering coordinated programmes, networks, and access to specialist advice and services.

Funded by the Department for Business & Trade, the Growth Hub is part of a national network of 42 hubs. Locally, it is delivered in partnership with Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, providing face-to-face support and signposting to grants, training, and tailored business advice.
