Nicola has over 20 years’ experience in business support, having managed a number of UK Government contracts for Biotechnology, Creative & Digital, Food & Drink Industry as well as helping companies access finance.
These contracts raised UK companies’ involvement in UK and European funded programmes, addressing skills issues and growing businesses within the UK. During Nicola’s career she managed the Grant for Business Investment (GBI) delivery in Yorkshire & the Humber and therefore brings a wealth of knowledge on how to successfully apply for capital and revenue grant funding.
More recently Nicola has worked within Asset Management and Investment Banking.
Nicola has supported companies to access finance for start-up and growth investment and delivers the Innovate UK Investment Readiness Initiatives – Invest-Ability Intensive Training and Pitch Panels in the South East.
