Property specialist George F White has hit a milestone after helping the region’s rural businesses to secure £10m in grant funding to grow and improve their ventures.
George F White has seen a considerable rise in enquiries from North East rural businesses looking to tap into funding grants. Most recently, the team secured a grant of £750,000 for Northumberland based Coastal Grains from the RDPE Growth Programme.
The funds are supporting the continued growth of Coastal Grains, a cooperative of over 100 farms across the county, and have been invested in new equipment, technology and training ahead of the season’s harvest at the end of July, securing a number of local jobs in the process. A large proportion of the funds have been used to purchase new silos, increasing storage capacity to 135,000 tonnes, allowing grain from all farms in the cooperative to be stored at a single site.
