Invest to Grow Impact Assessment 2019 (Highlights) 

“Invest to Grow has provided a great opportunity to access investment capital, which has propelled us forward in a way we would not have been able to do organically. This led to a significant increase in both our sales and profitability over the first year, with both increasing by double-figure percentages. The project has enabled us to diversify our offer and we are now working with a range of new clients.” David Campbell, Director at SureScreen Diagnostics Ltd
