Regional Economic Development
Regional Economic Development
The Scottish economic ecosystem is complicated and each region deservedly owns its own approach to economic development, from the South of Scotland right up to the Highlands and Islands. We work across each of these, supporting numerous development organisations and functions to drive Scotland’s economy forward.
CJM Lumina also supports several framework agreements with the Business Gateway and local authority economic development functions. This allows us to deliver expert surgeries, consultancy services, and interventions to SMEs, community, and third-sector organisations, no matter what stage of growth they’re at.
Through frameworks like those mentioned above, we can build strong relationships with local authorities and those responsible for regional strategy. With fuller understanding and closer partnership working between ourselves and economic development business support teams, we can better target the right support to the right businesses across the area. We’ve been trusted by 11 of Scotland’s local authorities to do exactly that.
We have delivered support through expert business frameworks, business skills training, tailored programmes like growth and accelerators, due diligence, and programme expert insight, across the following local authority areas:
- Dumfries & Galloway
- South of Scotland Enterprise
- Borders
- Fife
- Western Isles
- East Renfrewshire
- Glasgow
- South, East and North Ayrshire
- Moray
- Highland Council
- Highlands and Islands Enterprise
