FUNDING More good news - the SUS sector has done well so I am also pleased to tell you that the sector has been allocated additional funding to support new applicants and previous applicants who have had small grants. I am working with professional organisations to get the message out to businesses but also hope that you can help by telling colleagues and clients in other SUS businesses based in the East of England that they too might be eligible for grant support. Word of mouth is a very powerful way to spread a message and to support the local economy. And if your business has only made one application for a small grant you can apply again for further eligible training at 70% reimbursement. So if you think your business could benefit from a Beyond 2010 grant this year please go to the web link www.beyond2010.co.uk or e mail a.williamson@screeneast.co.uk. You can find out if you are eligible, and get more details. The SUS business priorities are: Architecture/Urban design – including landscape architects Engineering – civil, structural, highways etc. Housing Associations Surveying. Environmental Occupations Construction Industry management Businesses must have fewer than 250 employees and be based in one of the six E of England counties. I hope you find the information useful in Stop Press. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything you would like to see or know more about in Stop Press.
