Sparkle Granite

Project Background

Sparkle Granite required specialist equipment to improve production efficiency and increase output. The director identified the need for a highly specialised CNC machine to reduce production times and support business growth. With only one manufacturer of this type of machine, based in Italy, the investment represented a significant financial commitment. Securing grant funding was essential to help offset the cost of this unique equipment and enable the business to operate more efficiently.

What we did

We worked closely with the director of Sparkle Granite to identify suitable funding and manage a detailed application process for the CNC machine investment.

• Identified a grant that supported capital investment in machinery

• Confirmed with the client that this funding was the most reliable and suitable option

• Gained a clear understanding of the business operations, production challenges and efficiency goals

• Collected all technical specifications and financial information required for the application

• Fully wrote and submitted the grant application on behalf of the client

• Liaised with the funders throughout the process

• Responded to multiple funder queries and resolved any issues raised

• Returned to the funders several times to support the application and keep it progressing

• Successfully secured grant funding to support the purchase of the CNC machine

  
  

This funding supported Sparkle Granite in investing in costly specialist machinery to enable expansion to its workforce, meet higher demand and build a more resilient future for the business.
