NBV aids creation of 5,600 jobs
Business support specialist NBV said it has helped create 5,600 jobs in the East Midlands. The not-for-profit company added that more than 3,608 new start-up businesses in the region had been established through its support.
NBV said its mission was to make the East Midlands "the best place in the UK to start, maintain and grow a business".
The company has also introduced a mentoring package in addition to the skills training and business advice it provides.
Evolve Mentoring will give businesses access to a dedicated mentor and forum of business experts for six months.
NBV's chief executive Richard Dearden said: “As redundancies rise and public expenditure is cut we have seen an increased demand on our services as enterprise and self employment for many is the future.
"With 80 per cent of jobs across the country now being created within businesses employing fewer than ten people the real job creators of the future will be the local small business community, these new jobs will be crucial to the local economies and the wider UK environment. As such the case for support for these small businesses and job creators is compelling."
