Their goal is to improve the health and wellbeing of the communities we work with, as well as improve peoples' life chances. We do business by putting people and the planet first. We reinvest the money that our business makes into the communities around us. "DR!VE" is a new, bespoke, stand-alone programme for Lancashire enterprises and entrepreneurs that fills a gap in both business start-up and growth support provision across Lancashire. Throughout our delivery of the DR!VE project we aim to provide an enjoyable service which guides our clients through planned support to create business, increase competitiveness, profitability, employee engagement and ensure client satisfaction. Sewing Rooms require a maximum of 3 (three) suitably qualified and experience business advisers, able to support both mainstream business and Social Enterprise to start up and to develop. Applications are invited from suitably qualified and experienced business advisers to operate on a consultancy basis as part of the Sewing Rooms supply chain to provide business planning support to DR!VE beneficiaries in West and Central Lancashire. In order to encourage positive engagement in all Boroughs we are seeking to appoint experienced advisers who have knowledge of the area, links to local business and business networks and connections with Lancashire Business growth hub - Boost Lancashire. The applicant should be aware of all existing business support provision across Lancashire, able to encourage engagement from businesses that will benefit from the package of support the DR!VE project will deliver, and provide targeted support for businesses that are outside the scope of Boost.
