May 2014
Bletchley Park CEO Iain Standen has told a new
support hub for businesses how focusing on the
fascinating story of World War Two Codebreaking
helped transform Bletchley Park from a ramshackle,
derelict site into a vibrant heritage attraction.
Velocity, a new growth hub for ambitious small and
medium-sized enterprises across the South East
Midlands, was launched in the newly-restored Block C
Visitor Centre at Bletchley Park on Friday 23 May. It will
help businesses unlock their potential by helping them
to find funding and support. Bletchley Park was the
ideal launch location as it is in the final stages of
completing an £8 million restoration programme;
£5 million in Heritage Lottery Funding and £3 million
match fund raised by the Bletchley Park Trust.
