PURPOSE & IMPACT
Our approach
Northern Gritstone champions the concept that profitable organisations can and should have a wider purpose.
We believe that it is by combining profit and purpose that Northern Gritstone will be most successful.
By creating a leading ecosystem of support and funding, our aim is to generate significant wealth from the ideas and inventions that Northern Gritstone’s partners have developed which, over time, will flow back into the economy of the North of England thereby creating a virtuous circle from which all can benefit.
