Made in Grimsby & Cleethorpes C.I.C. was created by a girl who learned to love the town she thought she hated.

Made in Grimsby and Cleethorpes C.I.C is a not-for-profit marketing platform aimed at small local businesses that don’t have the budgets to invest in marketing.

Many small businesses in Grimsby and Cleethorpes can’t afford to hire a marketing agency to assist them in boosting their online presence of their business, so I want to offer these services for a low cost or free wherever possible.

This currently exists in the form of a listing in the MIG&C Small Business Directory, however, I have a huge ambition to broaden the offering available to small businesses.

Moving forward, the vision and values of Made in Grimsby and Cleethorpes C.I.C are:

Vision:

The vision of Made in Grimsby and Cleethorpes C.I.C is to support and promote small business owners who may be constrained by limited budgets when it comes to establishing a robust online presence. This vision is not only practical but also essential, especially in today’s digital age where an online presence can significantly impact a business’s success. By providing support to these entrepreneurs, we aim to enable them to realise their full potential and compete effectively in the online marketplace.
