About this Event
This is a welcoming and safe space where business owners and representatives can openly discuss opportunities, challenges and ideas. Whether you're an established business or just starting out, your views matter and will help inform future activity and support for the local business community.
Join fellow town centre businesses, for a constructive conversation focused on:
- Creating a thriving and vibrant town centre
- Identifying the support businesses need most
- Sharing ideas, challenges and opportunities
- Building stronger connections within our business community
- Influencing future programmes, initiatives and investment
During the session we'll explore questions such as:
- What are the biggest challenges facing your business?
- What skills or knowledge would help you grow?
- What support would make the biggest difference right now?
- What opportunities do you see for the town centre?
- How can businesses work together more effectively?
The information gathered won't disappear into a report.
Your feedback will directly inform a series of follow-on activities designed around the needs identified by local businesses, including:
- Peer-to-peer business forums
- Expert-led workshops and masterclasses
- Specialist support sessions
- Networking opportunities
- One-to-one business support meetings
Following the event, businesses will be offered a free one-to-one conversation to explore their specific challenges and opportunities in more detail and identify the most relevant support available.
This is your opportunity to help shape future events, support programmes and business initiatives for the town centre.
Join us for breakfast, connect with other local businesses, and make sure your voice is heard.
