News: Rotherham business moves forward thanks to local investment

A forward-thinking business development company is moving ahead in the market place, thanks to a £25,000 investment. Developing Performance Partnership Ltd (Develop-U), based in Rotherham, received the loan from South Yorkshire Investment Fund (SYIF) to help them bring in more business and market their services more widely. Develop-U specialises in business improvement techniques, helping major national clients, such as Linpac Packaging and General Motors, to improve their operational systems. Sam Morris, Managing Director of Develop-U said: "The investment from SYIF has gone towards marketing Develop-U and our services more widely. As a result, we've recently secured major contracts to up-skill the workforces of three large employers; one in West Yorkshire, and two in the East of England. The numbers involved will create financial security for our business for the next four years." Andrew Chaffer, Business Director at SYIF said: "Develop-U is a pioneering company who deserve to flourish in the market place. SYIF are delighted to have played a part in helping them secure major contracts and we look forward to watching the company grow in the coming years."
