As the county’s dedicated Growth Hub, Worcestershire Business Central is here to support your organisation.
The previous year has been challenging on businesses of all sizes with a lot of uncertainty. Thankfully, things seem to be looking up, but businesses aren’t expected to go it alone. We’ve collated a list of all the support that is available to you, and our dedicated team is on hand should you require further advice and information. Find out more. We are also offering support and advice with EU Exit and International Trade in 2021.
Elsewhere, we have had some fantastic feedback on our latest Specialist Business Advisers and Peer to Peer Networking programmes. Daniel Walton at Olpro participated in our Peer to Peer Networking and said “I really enjoyed getting to chat openly with other company founders and senior managers about problems we all found in business. It made for solutions we would not have found otherwise.” Regarding our Specialist Business Advisers programme, Ian Jarvis at Vertis Accounting Ltd said “There is a tremendous amount of expertise available through this programme and it can make a huge difference to small businesses in Worcestershire.” We are putting together case studies with further information on how businesses have benefitted from the programmes. They will be available to soon. If you are interested in taking part in future versions of either programme, please pop us an email on info@worcestershiregrowthhub.co.uk.
In other news, our colleagues at Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership and Worcestershire County Council have developed a handy website for both employers and employees. The Midlife MOT site provides a plethora of resources for businesses on how to support employees in health, financial and career development planning. Visit the website at www.midlifemot.org
To finalise, we’re also very proud to support the Make it Worcestershire campaign by One Worcestershire. It is all about championing the ‘Buy, Eat, Sell and Stay Local’ ethos to support local businesses. Find out more.
