Greater Manchester Combined Authority is working with the Mayor’s Business Advisory Panel and the Business Growth Hub to deliver the 6th annual GM-wide business survey, to improve their understanding of the strengths and opportunities local businesses have, as well as the challenges and issues they face. Listening to what matters most to businesses will enable Greater Manchester Combined Authority to design and deliver better policies, programmes and services intended to support the business community to thrive.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority are particularly interested in hearing about issues that are important for social enterprises, and how their needs may be different from private companies and charities. To ensure Greater Manchester Combined Authority reach as many social enterprises as possible, they are keen to hear from social enterprise organisations who would be willing to support this research.
The research consultants have been asked to interview leaders from up to 50 social enterprises from across GM as part of this survey. If you would be willing to take part, email Anne Lythgoe at: [email protected]) by Friday 22 November to express your interest, giving the name of your organisation, the person nominated to take part in an interview and their email address.
The interviews will take place between November 2019 and January 2020, and each interview will last approximately 20 minutes.
