Marching On from Marches Growth Hub
Marching On is the podcast from Marches Growth Hub, where BBC Radio and commercial radio presenter Ed Nell talks to business owners in Shropshire who have grown and adapted as a result of the pandemic. Ed talks to entrepreneurs from all walks of Shropshire life, from coffee roasters to worm farmers, about the barriers that they've jumped and the opportunities they've embraced. One thing shines through more than anything in this series: business owners in Shropshire are passionate, they're driven and they're succeeding. Marching On is produced by Sound Rebel for Marches Growth Hub, and is funded by Shropshire Council's £3.2 million economic recovery programme, which uses government grants to fund a series of business support programmes.
