About Grow Tees Valley

Grow Tees Valley is here to help Tees Valley’s ambitious SMEs get access to the funding and expertise they need to grow.

Grow Tees Valley is a part-funded service available to growth-oriented Tees Valley businesses employing fewer than 250 staff with an annual turnover no greater than €50m per annum.

So whether you want to improve or develop a product, embed a new service in your organisation or enter new markets, Grow Tees Valley can point you in the right direction.

We will work with you to carry out a detailed ‘business diagnostic’ to see if there are any areas in your business that will benefit from support. If you already have a project in mind, we will assess its potential and draw up an action plan together.

The Grow Tees Valley project is receiving up to £3.238m of funding from the England European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020.
