North Kent Is Changing | What it Means for Local Business

South East Business Show – The Voice of Business Across the South East What’s really happening in business across the South East? North Kent is changing and for businesses across Medway, Gravesham and Dartford, now could be the right time to start exploring the benefits.Sian Murphy is joined by co-host Adelle Martin, Executive Resilience Coach, and returning guest Sean Henry, Economic Development Manager at Medway Council. Together they make sense of the proposed North Kent authority, what a more joined-up region could mean for business support, and why the Lower Thames Crossing matters far beyond the road itself.They also get honest about grants. What makes an application stand out? Why is a list of polished buzzwords no substitute for a clear idea? And, most importantly, what happens to the project when the funding runs out?The conversation covers the Medway Together Fund, shopfront improvements, Partners for Growth, the new Pride in Place programme and changes to Medway’s business-support service. Along the way, Sean shares practical examples of the small investments that can turn a kitchen-table venture into a credible, growing business.Join us for a candid conversation about navigating change, asking for the right support and spotting the bigger opportunities taking shape across Medway and North Kent.Thanks to our show sponsor The Executive Resilience Coach.
