Greater Manchester Business Survey - call for Social Enterprise participation

 

Greater Manchester Combined Authority is working with the Mayor’s Business Advisory Panel and the Business Growth Hub to deliver the 6th annual GM-wide business survey, to improve our understanding of the strengths and opportunities our local businesses have, as well as the challenges and issues they face. Listening to what matters most to our businesses will enable us to design and deliver better policies, programmes and services intended to support our business community to thrive.

They are particularly interested in hearing about issues that are important for social enterprises, and how their needs may be different from private companies and charities. To ensure we reach as many social enterprises as they can, they are keen to hear from social enterprise organisations who would be willing to support this research. Their research consultants have been asked to interview leaders from up to 50 social enterprises from across GM as part of this survey. If you would be willing to take part, please express your interest by emailing Anne Lythgoe (anne.lythgoe@greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk) by Friday 22 November at the latest, giving the name of your organisation, the person nominated to take part in an interview and their email address.

The interviews will take place between November 2019 and January 2020, and each interview will last approximately 20 minutes.
