I run a software company and our MD is the queen of government grant (she's ex-local government). Interesting to hear that tech grants grow on trees in your neck of the woods - can I e-mail you a couple of questions?

Cornwall isn't my neck of the woods - I just know that my retail clients there have often paid for our services through a government grant. I think it's EU money intended to stimulate growth in remote areas.

Bristol and Bath are in the M4 corridor.
Out of interest, what sort of employees are you looking to hire at the moment?

Frontend and backend (php7) engineers. Modern stack, aws.
There are huge incentives for technology workers and entrepreneurs outside of London, but those already in London are trapped within its diamond dome - I left for good a few days after realising I hadn't been outside of the m25, other than abroad, in several years.
