Jersey Business is delighted to announce the approval of the first grant as part of the Better Business Support Package. Les Ormes, has been awarded a £75k grant, supporting a total project investment of close to £200k, aimed at enhancing productivity and supporting the islander’s well-being and the visitor experience.
Les Ormes’ project focuses on repurposing a space no longer utilised, with an increasingly popular Padel Tennis sports facility. The project allows them to utilise existing staff and existing systems to increase revenue to the business. This strategic move is forecast to drive revenues up significantly, showcasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the investment.
Paul Murphy, CEO of Jersey Business, commented, "We are delighted to see Les Ormes receive this grant for the development of their new padel facility. This project not only enhances Jersey's appeal as an active destination but also demonstrates the productivity gains achievable through strategic investment. The streamlined application process for the Better Business Grant through Jersey Business has proven to be efficient and effective, enabling swift support for innovative projects like this."
Nathan Maguire, General Manager at Les Ormes, said, "We are delighted to see the support for business from Government and the slick process of applying for these grant funds through the Jersey Business portal. Jersey is moving in the right way and can make things happen; certainly, we will ensure the project is a success."
