Scaleup initiatives show resilience and inspiration

When Lancashire County Council launched the three Two Zero pilot programmes in January this year, it was impossible to predict how the rest of 2020 would see the whole world economy turned on its head.

Our programmes, like our businesses, needed to adapt, and it’s fair to say those involved with the Two Zero Female, Social Enterprise, and Scaleup Resurgence programmes have been an inspiration to Lancashire’s economic recovery.

The programmes were originally dedicated to giving leaders of fast-growing firms the tools to continue to scaleup quickly but as the economic fallout of coronavirus began to be felt across the county, our programmes switched focus to long-term goals.
