Chair of the Council, Councillor Paul McLean visited Mid Ulster Trailers, previous recipients of the grant scheme. He said: “The Rural Business Development Grant Scheme can help rural micro businesses, like Mid Ulster Trailers, purchase that piece of equipment, machinery or software that will make a huge difference to their day to day operation, performance and growth. In this case, Mid Ulster Trailers were able to purchase a scissor lift that has made a great difference to their production line.
“Why not sign up for a pre-application workshop today and see how your business could benefit from the Rural Business Development Grant Scheme.”
The Rural Business Development Grant Scheme is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) as part of the Tackling Rural Poverty and Social Isolation (TRPSI) Programme.
