Among the businesses supported was Rendlesham-based skincare brand HBD Europe Ltd, which received a £120,000 grant to build a new manufacturing plant and create 50 new jobs.
Asams Ltd, a Great Yarmouth company which tests metal components for the oil and gas industry, which received a £12,500 grant for a new milling machine.
