Help To Unlock The Supply Chain

Applications are being sought for the latest round of supply chain grants which can cover up to 50 per cent of the total costs of a project.

Applications can be made by individuals, partnerships, companies, co-operatives and collaborative groups.

BPEX Consumer Marketing Manager Chris Lamb said: "The aim of these grants is to encourage better co-operation throughout the supply chain with special reference to connecting producers to the final point of sale.

"The total amount of money in the pot is £125,000 with a maximum grant of £20,000 per annum and projects which last up to three years are eligible."

The closing date for applications is Friday, May 26 and anybody who would like to apply should ring 01908 844194 or email chris_lamb@mlc.org.uk for an application form.

Information about the grants and help with making applications will be available on the BPEX stand at the British Pig and Poultry Fair on May 9 and 10.
