The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) 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 the businesses will enable GMCA to design and deliver better policies, programmes and services intended to support our business community to thrive.
GMCA 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 they reach as many social enterprises as they can, GMCA 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, express your interest by emailing Anne Lythgoe at: [email protected], giving the name of your organisation, the person nominated to take part in an interview and their email address.
The interviews will take place in the new year, and each interview will last approximately 20 minutes.
