Background to Business Link West Midlands and the Supplier Register
Business Link in the West Midlands provides comprehensive information and advice to help entrepreneurs, start-up and growing companies to train their people, embrace new technology, overcome legislation and, importantly, win new business.
Over the last year, it has developed a number of innovative firsts, including the Knowledge Bank, Adviser Assessments with the Institute of Directors and the first ever West Midlands Supplier Register, a 700-strong quality approved list of suppliers.
The Supplier Register is revolutionising the way SME companies tap into external expertise. Following its launch in April 2007, the register provides a quality assured list of professional firms that specialise in providing advice and guidance to growing businesses. The list includes accountants, design and marketing specialists, manufacturing consultants, training organisations and HR advisers.
SME businesses in the West Midlands area can ring the contact centre number (0845 113 1234) where their requirements are assessed and either information is provided there and then, or the client business is supported by a business link adviser, who conducts a more in-depth assessment which can lead to consultancy in areas such as marketing planning and strategy.
Using an agreed set of criteria, the adviser searches through the array of quality assured consultants and suppliers for a short list of those that best suit their client’s needs. This could be by specific expertise in the first instance, sector experience in the second and then perhaps by cost, location and even by empathy with particular types of entrepreneur. The SME business can then select which of the listed approved supplier they engage to support them.
Kul Sanghera, Director of Market development at Business Link WM said “We are confident that the Supplier Register will provide an excellent matching service that provides effective solutions to bespoke business requirements. Ultimately, we want it to become a best practice product that is the envy of other regions and countries.” |
