Business support & resources 

Business support comes in many forms, it could be as simple as knowing where to turn for impartial advice, help to set up your new business, accessing grant funding or having a forum to discuss major local issues. 
We represent businesses on wider issues and champion our local area and its growth, across all levels of business.
Up to date business support is posted on this page.
