Staffordshire businesses are being urged to unite as part of a project to boost business growth in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Economic growth programme Your Path to Profit, which was created by Staffordshire entrepreneurs Vic Taylor and Veronica Kitton, focuses on helping people take the next step into self-employment.
Working with Keele University, the duo has supported 30 Newcastle-under-Lyme startups in the last year and is now calling on the business community to come together to look at how they can offer additional collaboration and support opportunities.
On Wednesday, 27 November, Your Path to Profit Networking will be launching its first free event to bring together local businesses and startups in a bid to help new and established businesses to grow in the town.
Businesses at every stage in their journey are being urged to attend for extra support, mentoring and collaboration opportunities.
Vic, who runs Touchpoints Marketing and is passionate about promoting entrepreneurial opportunities, said: “Whether just starting out or a fully established business the Your Path to Profit Network is designed to bring together businesses to boost economic growth.
“We are so proud of how Your Path to Profit has supported Newcastle startups and are now looking to take this support to the next level.”
Veronica added: “Sadly, half of all businesses fail within three years of opening so encouraging economic growth isn’t just about inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs it is about nurturing and building the support network which helps businesses grow together.
“Your Path to Profit Networking does just that and helps businesses at any stage to unite and find the support they need.”
Tickets to the event, which takes place between 2pm and 4pm at The Old Library in Keele Hall, at Keele University, can be booked here.
