SMART GRANT NOVEMBER 2024 - 91.1% WINNING BID Nick Lofthouse, Innovation Manager - Lincoln Storm

With help from Grantmi we won a Smart Grant in the November 2024 competition, an extraordinary achievement for Lincoln Storm.

We have entered Smart before and we know how difficult it is win. With the usual pot of money available this time reduced to £15m from £25m we felt it would be even harder – but we were successful. 

Apparently out of over 2,100 bids scored, only 43 (2%) succeeded and we are proud to have been one of them, scoring an impressive 91.1%!

I can’t say enough how delighted I am with this success. It truly highlights the strength of our innovations at Lincoln Storm, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from Jim and Karen at Grantmi.

Their expertise, knowledge, creativity and attention to detail made crafting our bid not only easy but also highly effective. They guided us through the complexities of the process with professionalism and ease and I am immensely grateful for their partnership. They are also nice people and easy to work with.

Now our project is live they are supporting us with the project admin, making sure we do things correctly while we focus on the technical aspects of delivering our project.

Thank you, Jim and Karen for helping us achieve this milestone!
