"To be offered the chance to take up the SMART grant is a significant step forward. We have, kept going for 5 years without any remuneration and it has been a struggle with patent payments etc., but now finally! We can't thank you enough for your expertise and guidance.” - Alan Rallings, Founder, Cyclopic
“We have had Dorset LEP's Bid Service's help with Innovate UK grant applications and their support has always been very appreciated. Their bid writer's support has proved very useful and has previously helped us to successfully win a grant, so would recommend the service highly to any Dorset business.” - Sophie Godfrey, Aetha Design Studios Limited
