Go4Growth have recently started reintroducing in person events to our agenda. Our most recent event
being held at Barnsley’s Digital Media Centre. The interactive event we hosted at the Digital Media
Centre gave businesses the opportunity to speak with bid writing expert Mike Fairbotham, chat directly
with Barnsley Council’s procurement team about upcoming opportunities, learn how to register and
navigate procurement portals including Barnsley council’s chosen portal ‘Yortender’ and learn more
about the Go4Growth portal, the support we offer and how to take advantage of our programme.
The event was attended by over 30 local businesses and on the back of the events success we have made
the decision to run similar events in other locations across the UK and are developing such an event
dedicated to YABA members. Our job is to support local businesses to be able to find and take advantage
of the opportunities on offer in the public sector and attending one of our events can be a great way to
get involved by introducing your organisation, having one-to-one time with members of the team and our
supporting guests.
Although Go4Growth have started reintroducing face to face events, we are still frequently holding
online events, offering tailored support, easily accessible virtual content and one-one mentoring sessions.
The support we offer and the guidance’s we create is based on feedback from the businesses that we
interact with, for example we can see that one of the main challenges Yorkshire businesses registered on
the Go4Growth growth platform have identified, is bid writing. Competitions can be large scale, time
consuming and complex. In response to this Go4Growth have developed a series of bid masterclasses
with bid writing expert, Mike Fairbotham. These masterclasses have been held both virtually and in
person. Recordings of our workshops can be accessed via our YouTube channel.
We are committed to making sure our support reflects the real needs of local businesses. We actively
encourage businesses to tell us about what help and support would be useful, or what the challenges are
that businesses are facing so we can build support that really counts.
