Businesses in the Burnham-On-Sea area have been invited to the opening of a new ‘Enterprise Hub’ in Highbridge.
The new £1.16m centre built by Somerset County Council on the Isleport Industrial Park to champion high growth enterprises and drive business investment gets its grand opening next week.
Businesses are invited to attend the Highbridge Enterprise Centre’s breakfast-time launch event on Wednesday 25th March between 8.30am and 10.30am.
The event will include a tour of the building and its facilities, and is free to attend.
To register for the event, call Adrian Sheen on 07919 696939, email or visit www.eventbrite.com and search for Highbridge events.
The recently completed Highbridge Enterprise Centre at Isleport Business Park is the newest addition to the Council’s portfolio of centres aimed at promoting business growth in Somerset.
It comprises three modern light industrial units, flexible office space and meeting rooms, and is equipped with fibre optic broadband. New and expanding businesses based at the Centre will be able to access free advice through the South West Business Centres organisation, which manages the site on behalf of the County Council.
The Centre also hopes to attract business interest from outside the county – for example by maximising on opportunities presented by future, high-profile developments, such as EDF Energy’s proposed Hinkley Point C power station.
The project is jointly-funded by Somerset County Council and through the Rural Growth Network (RGN), which encourages economic growth and enterprise in rural areas.
