Oxstalls Campus under wraps - home to GFirst LEP and the new Growth Hub

Following the historic Growth Deal last month, announcing £62.5m of Government funding to accelerate growth across Gloucestershire, the new Growth Hub formed by the unique partnership between GFirst LEP and the University of Gloucestershire, will be the ‘go to’ place for the business community across the county with high growth ambitions when it opens its doors for business in October.
