Development Deadline:
There are just over five weeks until 12 April. If you are considering submitting an application please allow plenty of time to make contact with us at MEDIA Desk UK. We get extremely busy in the lead up to the deadline, which affects the extent of the advice we are able to offer. In addition, Agnieszka Moody will be away from 6-9 April. The scheme has become very competitive and you will definitely benefit from our advice so please get in touch as soon as you can.
