Key projects

GreySky is committed to supporting the development of UK businesses and the UK economy. We are actively progressing projects to support business success, and to promote the enterprise development across the UK.

Business projects

GreySky’s expertise in strategic development and marketing has allowed us to support a wide range of projects and customers - from start-ups to Microsoft!

Business software

GreySky is founded on extensive experience in the development of marketing and product management strategies for IT products across a number of markets - from consumer to government.  Our expertise in the SME market has been developed with global market leaders, including BT and Sage.  GreySky’s projects include supporting Microsoft in the development of marketing strategies for SME business products.

Business launch

GreySky is committed to supporting new businesses of all types.  We have used our marketing and financial planning expertise to support a wide range of new businesses - from “Happy Hounds” dog crèche “Dan Bond” communication consultancy.  Our aim is to provide new businesses with a clear path to a successful business model - allowing them to succeed on their terms.

Enterprise projects

At GreySky, we are also committed to supporting the development of enterprise in the UK.  We see the support for new business development to be critical to the long term success of the UK economy, and we actively support a range of projects that we see as critical to enterprise development - from the rollout of next generation broadband services to mentoring new entrepreneurs.

Rural broadband

GreySky is based in rural Northumberland. Our business is only possible because of the broadband internet access we have, but many businesses aren't so fortunate. We are actively developing projects to bring effective broadband services to rural areas.

Everyone seems to be talking about broadband in rural areas at the moment, and rightly so. It's important, and it can be solved. There are many different ideas about what the best approach is, GreySky is focusing on practical solutions, delivered now.

Enterprise support

Supporting enterprise development is GreySky's basic purpose. In 2006 and 2007 we supported the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI) programme in County Durham with our partners Viretec Consulting. We are now working with Viretec again, this time to support the BiG programme in Sheffield.

Mentoring

The direct support that mentoring can provide can be critical in helping new entrepreneurs navigate the inevitable highs and lows of starting their own business.  GreySky strongly supports the use of mentoring as an integral element of its enterprise support projects, and also is pleased to support projects such as The Prince’s Trust and the Institute of Digital Innovation by providing mentoring support.

Opportunity

Businesses need many things if they are to "survive and thrive" but we argue that opportunity is the most important. Many local authorities and development agencies are working hard to support their local economies and small businesses. They also have the means to make a huge difference.

Local authorities spend millions of pounds each year. A lot of this is in large contracts with national and international businesses. But a lot of it is through much smaller contracts - these can be vital to the future of small local businesses. GreySky is developing a range of online solutions which can provide the tools to help support local business.
