A GRANT negotiation firm has made a successful start to 1996. Blackburn-based EuroGrant has already helped secure £700,000 worth of grants for Scapa Scandia and Graham & Brown.

A £500,000 Regional Selective Assistance grant awarded to Graham & Brown will help create around 45 new jobs as part of a £4.3 million scheme at its Harwood Street site.

The £200,000 grant won by Scapa Scandia is to support the development of a press felt manufacturing project at its Cartmell Road site, expected to create more than 20 jobs.

EuroGrant, based at Towers Court, Blackburn, has for four years helped UK firms identify and negotiate grants.
