Our public services centre in Tewkesbury has been offering customers a ‘one stop shop' approach for public services for some time now, and it's working extremely well. Under one roof we've got county council services; a Jobcentre Plus, the police and NHS teams working together to benefit our residents. This year I am delighted we have been able to extend our support offer to businesses with the launch of our ‘growth hub'.

Growth hubs are spaces which promote entrepreneurship, innovation and business growth in the local area – they offer targeted support to local businesses of all types, from pre-start to existing companies and organisations looking to grow.
