31 Update on Business Growth Service
The Committee will receive a presentation on the Spelthorne Business Growth Service.
Minutes:
The Committee received an update on the Business Growth Service from the Economic Development Manager. The Service continued to surpass their targets, with 46 businesses receiving direct support and large number of others partaking in events and start-up sessions. A majority of registrations came from word-of-mouth.
Of the previous businesses from the programme that ended in April, over 90% were still trading. Businesses would continue to be monitored and offered support where required.
The Committee resolved to note the update.
