A Birstall-based firm is helping to put other businesses on the path to growth.

HR and employment law specialist Lamont Jones hosted a Growth Accelerator event at its Bradford Road offices.

Director Heather Jones led the session, which aimed to help local small and medium-sized businesses make new connections, find new routes and develop new ideas to reach their full potential.

Lamont Jones organised the breakfast event to inform local businesses and clients on the financial help and training available through the Growth Accelerator programme.

More than 15 businesses attended and heard talks on access to finance, training sessions for management teams and advice on how a business can achieve its long-term plans.

As a registered and approved Growth Accelerator adviser Lamont Jones – boasting more than 40 years experience in HR services – now has the tools to help business get more out of their team through HR advice and training.

Said Heather: “I have many trusted friends and business associates from the accountancy and finance sectors that are involved in the Growth Accelerator programme.

“I have years of valuable experience in the HR and law sectors which will benefit other local businesses, which is why I decided that Lamont Jones needed to become part of this programme.

“Over 18,000 businesses have already engaged with Growth Accelerator and I hope Lamont Jones can become a mentor and guide to help others benefit from the Government backed service.”
