WARWICKSHIRE MEANS BUSINESS

Come and make connections at the Mill Street Exchange

"So far we’ve helped over 40 businesses find financial support, recruit top talent and source a new space to operate from."

This month saw the launch of an exciting new project - the Mill Street Exchange - at the vibrant co-working space, 1 Mill Street, in Leamington Spa.  

The Mill Street Exchange offers businesses the chance to chat about their ambitions or challenges alongside the opportunity to be plugged in to expert advice and local support programmes.

Delivered in collaboration with Warwickshire County Council and the University of Warwick, the Exchange enables businesses to create opportunities, make connections, and expand their network whilst receiving expert, tailored support.   

The aim of The Exchange is to make local services which are already available more accessible and easier to understand. Every Thursday, between 10am and 2pm, businesses can drop into The Mill Street Exchange which is based in their coffeehouse on the ground floor. You don't have to be based at 1 Mill Street - the offer is open to any business in Warwickshire.  

On Thursday 14th July (8.30am-10am), 1 Mill Street will bring their latest project to life by hosting a breakfast to celebrate the success stories so far. These will concentrate on three areas vital to business success - finance, talent and space - so please come along and hear first-hand how businesses are benefiting. 

“We are still at an early stage in the development of The Mill Street Exchange," said Jem Morey, Community Development Manager at 1 Mill Street. "So far we’ve helped over 40 businesses find financial support, recruit top talent and source a new space to operate from. We’ve chosen four businesses that have used The Mill Street Exchange to tell their story. We’re holding the breakfast to bring the project to life and invite other local businesses to get involved.” 

The free event will be hosted at 1 Mill Street, near Leam Terrace, on Thursday 14th July at 8.30am with complimentary pastries available for guests.
