Lisburn consultancy helps clients secure £200k funding in a month

Lisburn business growth specialist, Pinnacle Growth Group, has helped clients to secure a collective £200,000 grant funding last month.

The amount was obtained under the consultancy’s guidance by clients across multiple funding awards including five rural awards from the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA,) Invest NI and Innovate UK.

The news comes as the firm reveals plans for further expansion. The organisation, which advises public and private sector clients across the UK and Ireland, has confirmed that it invested £400,000 into the business in 2022 with a view to increasing its employee base and expanding its capabilities. It also aims to enhance on-site engagement and collaboration by improving its facilities.

The Group has confirmed that its turnover has been increasing year on year and that it secured over 13 new contract wins and clients in 2022. These include funding awards, multi-million-pound funding applications, business improvement and export programmes and new clients.

The consultancy provides expert, bespoke support to clients in three areas; finance for growth, business improvement, and sales and export growth. To date, it has supported over 500 organisations with bespoke Brexit advice and has secured over £15m in funding for clients. It has also supported over 500 companies across the UK and Ireland leading to the creation of hundreds of jobs.

Judith Neill, general manager, said: “We are delighted to have helped secure a collective £200,000 funding for clients across multiple sectors in August.

“We are also excited to announce our growth plans for 2022/23. Over the past two years, we have invested over £800,000 to fuel the growth of our business and are recruiting to expand our team.

“We have a strong footprint and aim to go above and beyond to add value to our clients. Our business model and approach are based upon knowledge gathered across multiple business sectors within the global economy and we are expanding our knowledge and capabilities to ensure that we provide clients with the best bespoke advice.

“We are also expanding our workforce, to ensure that we continue to deliver an excellent client service by adding to our team’s breadth and depth of experience. I look forward to the development of our new premises to accommodate additional employees this year.”
