£950m regional business fund winners

JCB, Pochin Developments and Keepmoat Homes have all won funding support from the second round of Government cash to kick-start the economy.

A wide selection of engineering firms figure highly among the successful bidders for the £950m Regional Growth Fund, although main stream contractors are conspicuously absent from the list.

The funding boost should allow several building and regeneration schemes to go ahead.

The £950m second round of the £1.4bn Regional Growth Fund has backed 119 bids from businesses and local partnerships to expand their operations.

Of the 201,000 jobs created or protected, around 37,000 will be directly created jobs, and more than 164,000 will be in the supply chain.

Government claims the investment will support nearly £6bn of private investment secured by the successful projects.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: “This targeted support for businesses across the country allows them to expand and create jobs.

“It unlocks private sector investment – with at least £5 put in for every £1 of public money. People in the rest of Britain have been let down for far too long by governments in thrall to one Square Mile of it.

“The first pot of Regional Growth Fund money is already making a difference across the country – helping to rebalance our economy so that every region and sector benefits.”
