The company requested funding to support the purchase of a new field management service software package.

Steve Winter, Director of Wight Fire & Security, said:

We were looking to install a new business management software package to cover every aspect of our business. It struck me that the Solent LEP may have grants available to help finance the purchase. From the first contact they were extremely helpful, pointing me in the direction of a suitable grant fund, providing pointers on my application right through to the award of the grant itself. Highly professional and approachable.
