“Big thanks to YBF & Efficiency North for the Small Business Grant, we were able to put it towards a one day health and safety course for a new starter, this enabled him to apply for his green CSCS card a lot quicker than normal therefore he was able to work on a greater variety of sites for us.”

Ian Meakes, B Batch Group Ltd

"The funding we received has helped us put training in place that was needed after redundancies due to COVID 19. The YBF grant allowed us to complete this for 2 people to maintain compliance within our workshop. The service was very easy to use and application very quick."
