Join us for our first “Professional Business Services (PBS) Going for Growth” roadshow event to find out more about support available and learn from expert insights as well as local business success stories to boost your domestic and international growth.

The Professional Business Service sector has been recognised as one of the eight growth-driving sectors within the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy. The UK’s PBS plays a vital role fuelling innovation, investment and trade across the whole economy. Greater Manchester has the largest PBS sector outside London, with established strengths in legal, accounting and audit, management consultancies, real estate and PBS Tech (notably LawTech) and significant potential to further grow local capabilities.

Delivered in partnership with Greater Manchester Combined Authority, this event is tailored for local businesses operating across the Professional Business Services sector and offers a unique opportunity to:

• Understand how your business can benefit from the announcements outlined in the Industrial Strategy, PBS sector plan and Greater Manchester Strategy
• Enhance your knowledge about existing and upcoming support programmes available to PBS businesses across critical areas for growth: Innovation & Technology, Skills, Access to Finance and PBS Export (focusing on the recently signed Free Trade Agreement and opportunities in India)
• Gain insights from industry experts, public representatives and local businesses through themed panel discussions
• Connect with peers and local business support organisations 

This event is open to Manchester businesses operating across all PBS sub-sectors (including legal, accounting, consulting, engineering, recruitment and other business services as well as HRtech, PropTech, LawTech, RegTech and Accountancy-Tech)
