Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund Special

You are invited to the second of our Workington breakfast seminars where we will be joined by three representatives from The Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund.

NPIF is a collaboration between the British Business Bank and ten Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs).  NPIF will provide funding to fund managers to provide over £400m of investment to boost small and medium business (SME) growth in the North of England.

Find out more about the objectives of NPIF and how the funds will create sustainable economic activity in our region.

Business Accelerators are designed to update Business Owners and Financial Directors on topical accounting, business and tax matters. We also provide a forum for you to meet people in similar roles, creating a network to share ideas.
