WARWICKSHIRE MEANS BUSINESS

Free event for Nuneaton and Bedworth businesses looking to grow

Local firms in Nuneaton and Bedworth can find out more about how local colleges, universities and business support organisations can help their business, thanks to two drop-in events being held at Eliot Park Innovation Centre.

Held on Tuesday 26 May and Wednesday 10 June, the events are free to attend and bring together many of the sub-region’s support organisations conveniently in one place. Advisors will be on hand to answer questions about what they do and the services that can be accessed to help businesses thrive.

The University of Warwick’s Employer Connect will be there to talk about the way graduates can add value to business activities. The university is globally respected with a regular placing in the UK university top 10. Perhaps you want to know more about recruiting graduates or you have a project idea that a post graduate student could assist with?

Other organisations attending include the Coventry and Warwickshire Growth Hub, the Business Growth Service, the Apprenticeship Hub, Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce and North Warwickshire and Hinckley College.

Those interested in attending can drop-in at a time during the allocated sessions, at lunchtime between 12pm and 2.30pm on May 26 or first thing on June 10 between 8.30am and 11am. Attendees are asked to register via Eventbrite:

Cllr Danny Aldington, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Development at Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, added: “This event provides an excellent opportunity for businesses to find out more about what support is available to them. I would encourage businesses to take advantage of this opportunity to talk to the range of organisations that have come together in one place and find out more about the assistance available.”
