New MK Business hub needs entrepreneurs eager to grow

Nat West and business accelerator Entrepreneurial Spark will be opening the hub at the bank’s Silbury Boulevard offices this August.

The new hub – or Hatchery – will provide free support, mentoring, networking and office accommodation for around 80 start-ups.

Access will include physical office space with superfast internet; a start-up ‘bootcamp’; dedicated mentoring and regular events, workshops and training – all free.

Businesses will also get access to Entrepreneurial Spark’s ‘Secret Sauce’
enablement programme which works with businesses to develop the mind-sets and behaviours that make a successful entrepreneurial leader.

Applications are welcomed from any sector – from idea and early-stage businesses to those already trading and generating revenue – with the only criteria being a strong desire to want to grow and scale their business.

Dave Simpson, head of KPMG Enterprise in Milton Keynes, said: “It’s great news that there is a new Entrepreneurial Spark hatchery coming to Milton Keynes.”
