Federation of Small Business Archives

A radical change to the way that training budgets are funded in Liverpool is set to be showcased at the Federation of Small Businesses’ (FSB) Small Business Summit later this month.

The event – which is the first of its kind – is being held on October 23rd at Liverpool’s John Moores University.

During the day, more information will be shared on the new Skills for Growth Bank initiative – a £32 million scheme which will see business owners have their say on how skills training is both designed and funded.

Employers in the region will be able to make use of investments between £1,000 and £1 million to improve their workforce’s productivity levels and skillbase.

The FSB’s chair of Merseyside, West Cheshire and Wigan Elaine Moore said: “Business owners often struggle to recruit staff with the specific skills sets they need – Liverpool City Region’s Skills for Growth bank tackles this challenge head-on.”

It is hoped the initiative will help around 6,000 people gain employment, while also creating up to 4,000 apprenticeships.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. On terminating the account I was given incorrect infromation. I have spent over six months trying to cancel and still nothing. Instead they continue to try to charge for a service I do not use. I simply see their actions as Fraud. Zero customer service. Merely interested in making money whatever way they can.

Good Points: Lovely reception staff and professional centre manager Bad Points: Sales lady didn't really "sell" what was on offer. I realised after signing up for the basic license that I needed to upgrade in order to have my business address available on companies house. Accounts department does not know what they are doing. Never got my invoices and my statement of account was wrong. Had to move over to a competitor which are providing a much better service.

Thank you. This is what I just posted in Google Review: "The enveloppes that they forward our letters does not, most of the time, glue properly (like if they have bought cheap batches of enveloppes). Most of them have worn out glue and are delievered open. In one case one enveloppe reached me totally empty because the letters it included had fallen off on its way because of the worn out glue. Twice I had HMRC correspondences of another company forwarded to me by mistake. When I emailed VV - there was a muted silence; not even an apology. I had to look out for the poor addressee and arrange to forward it. My contract copy has never been posted back to me despite my email to Skevi. Emails are also not answered. The service is bad and the staff are really careless."
