Capital and revenue grants up to £20k now available for Northamptonshire businesses
One of the local businesses that has recently been awarded a grant is NN1 Personnel, a recruitment agency that supplies temporary HGV drivers to a wide range of logistics clients in Northamptonshire.
Justyna Sodel, Director at NN1 Personnel says: “The Ready2Grow project supported our company with a grant towards the costs of our promotional marketing campaign. This really helped us with our online presence and strengthened the brand awareness giving us opportunities to engage with new clients and grow our business.”
On the road to achieving growth ambitions
“NN1 Personnel listened to our requirements and initially supplied drivers on an ad-hoc basis in line with our customer demands. In fact, over the Christmas period, NN1 Personnel was able to supply us with 20 drivers over a one-day period which enabled us to stay on track with our deliveries at an extremely busy time.
“As we have grown so has NN1 Personnel but that has not affected the service levels we have received. Our relationship has continued to be about supply and demand. In my opinion, NN1 Personnel started off small and got its business model right. It is now scaling that up. I can categorically say, that working with NN1 Personnel has been a big part of Route Logistics’ success over the past two years.”

“A recruitment company that specialises in sourcing staff for the county’s thriving logistics sector is celebrating after being named a finalist in the inaugural Northamptonshire SME Business Awards.
