AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Road Disruption: Gallows Corner has reopened after major works, but Havering businesses are still seeking compensation for losses caused by delays and diversions. Manufacturing Productivity: Hampshire SMEs can join a two-day, Toyota-backed lean manufacturing programme to cut waste and improve processes before investing in new technology. Growth Outlook: Just 26% of small firms forecast growth in the final quarter of 2026, while nearly half of owners are anxious about the Budget. Funding Lessons: West Midlands food brand Lumberjaxe grew from its founders’ mum’s kitchen to supplying major retailers, but the brothers say banks declined to back them when a large Aldi order created cash-flow pressure. Founder Success: Snag Tights, launched by Edinburgh entrepreneur Brie Read after a wardrobe malfunction, now reports annual sales of £54m.
