We've done a lot this year.

 

National and international training.

In 2015 Red Ochre staf delivered training and support in Armenia, Bangladesh, China, Greece, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Morocco, Pakistan, Spain, Vietnam, and of course in the UK. In total we trained 3,323 entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs.

 

Innovating for growth programme

In collaboration with the British Library IP Centre we supported over 250 businesses on the Innovating for growth programme. Of those 70% have increased their turnover or taken on extra staff after one year of completing the programme. Collectively those businesses have generated more than £14m in Gross Value Added for London.
