Gareth Thomas
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
We hope to launch the Business Growth Service (BGS) in the summer.
The BGS will, over time, simplify the government’s business support ecosystem, with locally led support underpinned by an improved online service. It will help realise the government’s Small Business Strategy, complementing the Industrial Strategy, Trade Strategy and Make Work Pay plans as part of a comprehensive approach to our Growth Mission.
