Rural Business Connect events – networking & support
- No Comments
Join us at two ‘Rural Business Connect’ events run by the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk in June and July.
Rural businesses can face additional challenges, including logistics, recruitment and access to investment so the council has brought together a number of organisations that specialise in these areas to give free advice and support.
Business Growth Hub Adviser Anthony Goggin will be attending both events providing advice about our growth programmes, the Rural England Prosperity Fund and other opportunities.
Initially, two events are planned, in Hunstanton and Downham Market. The events will be attended by a number of expert organisations, including the Growth Hub, Norfolk Chambers of Commerce, the Federation of Small Businesses, Boost, the Visitor Economy Network Initiative, the Department of Business and Trade, the Borough Council and more.
The organisations will provide opportunities for businesses to access support and advice about business development, starting up, diversifying, growing and improving productivity, alongside information on available grants, support for upskilling and training staff and discussing apprenticeship opportunities.
