Ashfield District Council is working with businesses to provide practical help to access the wide range of support available across the area.

Throughout the pandemic the council has provided funding and Covid-19 advice and continues to offer advice to business owners and budding entrepreneurs. 

As part of Succeed in Ashfield, business owners can access the Business Boost Business Directory, a one stop guide for business support opportunities and contacts in Nottinghamshire. The directory is available to businesses and individuals that have signed up to the Succeed in Ashfield Facebook and LinkedIn groups.

As well as access to the directory, the social media groups provide a community for local businesses to access information. 

Coun Mathew Relf, cabinet member for regeneration and planning, said: “Ashfield has a fantastic range of businesses, from local independents to large multi-nationals. The pandemic has clearly had an impact on all businesses and the council has been working to support them throughout.

“With the recent announcement of over £70m coming to the district as part of the Towns Fund and Future High Streets Fund to invest in local skills and regeneration, there has never been a better time to start, expand or move a business to here.

“Our Business Support team is on hand to talk through ideas and offer advice, offering a high-quality service helping businesses thrive here in Ashfield.”
