Keeping your firm in fitness

Business Link has launched a new programme of free events to help North East businesses fight the economic downturn.

More than 60 "Keep Your Business Fighting Fit" workshops are scheduled to take place across the region over the next 15 months, covering a wide range of topical issues.

Alastair MacColl, chief executive of Business and Enterprise North East, which delivers the Business Link service in the region, said: "North East England is well served with a very effective range of support services for businesses.

"But at Business Link we are always exploring new ways in which we can do more.

"The Keep Your Business Fighting Fit workshops have been developed to provide advice and assistance that is practical, topical and relevant to businesses from all sectors and of all sizes.

"We have put in place this sustained programme of events that will run until the middle of 2010, providing flexible and innovative support for North East businesses."

Each session will be delivered to a maximum of 20 businesses, with research carried out beforehand to identify the most pressing issues facing them attendees and what can be done to help.

Subjects to be covered will include managing cashflow, legal issues and redundancies, negotiating with banks, minimising risk and maximising profit, raising finance and risk management.

Full details of forthcoming Keep Your Business Fighting Fit workshops can be found on www.eventsnortheast.co.uk or by calling 281 5777.

The events are free to attend but places must be booked in advance.
