In this episode, Emma and Daniel discuss how Farmhouse Biscuits Ltd. in Nelson received £17,500 from the Nelson Town Deal to build a new chocolate enrobing area.

Daniel explains the grant process for Nelson businesses, including the deadline and how to contact Mike Williams at Pendle Borough Council for more information. Councillor Asjad Mahmood encourages all business owners to reach out for help developing their businesses, and Carel van Bentum shares how the grant improved energy efficiency and production conditions. This success story highlights how support can make a real difference for local businesses, even long-established ones.
