Through the Boost programme to date, we’ve supported more than 5,000 businesses, creating over 2,200 jobs and £74m of economic growth in Lancashire.
The real pride, however, comes from hearing the stories behind the figures and knowing Lancashire businesses who have been supported by Boost have gone on to achieve great things. Some of the most inspirational stories are those of our amazing female entrepreneurs.
They include Sara Dewhurst of Lytham-based Sandgrown Spirits. Sara needed some help in getting her gin into retailers. With the help of Boost, she has grown her business from £10,000 to £120,000 and recently picked up the New Business award at the annual Enterprise Vision Awards organised by female network Pink Link.
