“The approval of the grant from Regenerate was a major factor in the decision to expand the Lancashire site.” Stephen Lees, General Manager
Mackintosh, a company famous for its iconic raincoats, and part of a large International Textile Group, has expanded within Lancashire with help form the Regional Growth Fund.
The funding helped the company build an extension to its factory and purchase state of the art textile equipment with the aim of doubling its manufacturing and working capacity. They were able to create 60 jobs on the new site in Nelson.
“The grant funding helped support the cost of relocation to larger premises, which gave us the capacity to fulfil our sales growth expectations. Our expansion created 24 new jobs arising from new contracts in both the UK and overseas.” Rupert Gatty, Managing Director
“The upgrade and support from Regenerate will help us with our growth plan, which is to complete jobs at a larger scale, more quickly than before. I don’t want Realtime to be in a position where we need to say ‘no’ to high profile contracts.” Tony Prosser, Managing Director
“Regenerate sourced a grant to help us acquire the two machines that our business can’t do without.” Stephen Coates, Managing Director.
