Creative Storage realised when recently delivering our catalogues to our customer base, we (Creative Storage) were surprised to find out that there were so many companies that we had never heard of on our own doorstep. We decided to organise an informal gathering as a way for local businesses to come together and get to know each other.
We will have 2 great keynote speakers (mentioned below) with other attendances from Gordon Cleaver - Economic Development Manger (MDDC).
Jerry Allen - Metcalfe Allen, FSB representative and from Buisness Link, Peter Stacey who will be presenting a short powerpoint presentation and Business Adviser Tony Rusbridge who delivers free Business clinics in our area, in conjunction with MDDC and FSB and will be available to make appointments, for you to discuss grants, funding for training, Health & Safety and many other aspects of business for start ups and well established businesses.
