Successful funding strategies and bids require not only well
conceived proposals but strong and well evidenced advocacy
documents - and only the most compelling cases will succeed.
This is GENECON's core business - we have a distinguished track
record in navigating and securing funding approvals at all levels
of Government.
We have:
- Worked closely with Local Enterprise Partnerships in

Yorkshire;

Marine Park EZ;
- Advised RDAs and private developers on ERDF business
cases;
- Prepared many successful bids on behalf of former RDAs, local
authorities and the HCA seeking project funding approvals from BIS,
CLG and from Treasury;

Development Advisory Board;
