North East Growth Hub ‘User Engagement Strategy’ tender opportunity now live

Since launching the Beta version of the North East Growth Hub we have been working closely with the North East business community to drive the development of the platform forward.

We have now reached another important milestone in the North East Growth Hub’s development as we seek to appoint a company to develop and deliver an integrated user engagement strategy for the business support platform.

Working with the North East LEP and delivery partners Escher Group, the successful company will be responsible for building a loyal customer base for the North East Growth Hub. A key objective will be to develop strong relationships with businesses in the North East who will benefit from the services offered by the North East LEP’s Growth Hub.

What we’ve learned through the Beta testing phase is that businesses want to play an active role in the North East Growth Hub and continue to influence and direct its future development. Creating a strong network of users from the business community is key to the platform’s success.

The appointed company will build an engaged customer base that fully understands the opportunities and services available to them via the North East Growth Hub.

When launched, the North East Growth Hub will be the go-to resource for North East companies looking for information and advice on business support and finance. It will be home to the largest listing of business events happening in the North East as well as aggregated news and updates from the North East business community.
