The programme is open to small and medium-sized businesses in Greater Manchester, with one or more employees, operating in the food and drink industry.

Dan Hope, an advisor at the Growth Hub, said: "I know firsthand how hard it can be to build a successful business in this environment.

"But with the recent signs of growth in our industry, now is the perfect time to invest in your business. This support covers everything you need right now, and we're really excited to get started.

"The beauty of this programme is that it's a 'build-your-own' support system. Whether you're a café, restaurant, bar, or hotel, you can tailor the support to fit your business and your team."

"We've built this programme from the ground up to provide actionable support that businesses can implement right away. We know running a hospitality business today requires more than just passion - it demands a strategic understanding of everything from branding to legal compliance.

"This programme provides the tools needed to not just survive, but to truly thrive. And the best part? It's completely free for eligible businesses in Greater Manchester."
