different
• Sandwich and Coffee market is now at £3.7bn per annum. This
market has increased 5% per year for last 5 years
• The sector has continued to expand despite the recession proving its
durability
• The market may appear to be dominated by big brands such as
Subway, Costa, Greggs but our continental self service style business
offer fits nicely in-between all players.
• Subway and Dominos have little chance to expand as their territories
are saturated

different

• Unique Fully Self Service German Designed Display cabinets

39. TAMESIDE BUSINESS GRANT
FOR EMPLOYERS
The Tameside Business Grant for Employers offers a
grant of £1,500 to businesses which create:
• an apprenticeship for a Tameside resident
aged 16-24 years old
• a job role for a Tameside resident paid at the
living wage (currently £8.25 per hour)
Nemo Autos Ltd, Hyde
Samantha Clayton (Owner) of Nemo Autos Ltd, Hyde with
her Apprentice Georgia Moseley:
“As a small business overheads are high. The grant
helps to pay Georgia’s wage. In all honesty, the grant
is a massive help, we are really grateful.” Samantha
Clayton, Owner of Nemo Autos Ltd

40. TAMESIDE Y.E.S.
Businesses will be reimbursed for 6 months
salary if they employ a Tameside resident
aged 16-24 years, who is not in employment,
education or training through the scheme.
The scheme support apprenticeships and
non-apprenticeship roles for 6 months.
“I thought there’s no financial risk and it gives a
young person the opportunity to see what it’s
like to work. How does a young person get
experience without a chance? By employing a
person with no experience, it also gave me the
chance to mould someone.” Darren Hartley,
Managing Director at Insul-Eight Contracts Ltd.

41. TAMESIDE TRADE GRANT
Tameside Council recognise the borough has a vitally
important Trade skill base. To support this we created
a grant of up to £1,000 is available for:
• Tameside apprentices in the trade industry (16-
24 years)
• A new trade business starting up in Tameside
(16-24 years)
The grant can be used to buy tools or even buying a
work van.
“I wouldn’t be as far on in my career without the Trade Grant.
Better tools, better jobs, better end product.” Kane Johnson,
Apprentice Joiner

drills.” Joseph Etches, Apprentice Joiner
