Cheshire East Council, in partnership with Access to Finance, would like to invite you to a breakfast seminar aimed at businesses within the Digital and Creative sector. Cheshire East held a workshop in June this year to find out more about the challenges and priorities for this sector and one of the outcomes was a request from local businesses for more information about funding for growth and for operational activities. This event has been developed to respond to this request, it is free of charge to attend and is open to all businesses within the Digital and Creative sector.
 
Cheshire East will be reporting back on the key findings from the review and its impact on the local economy and will be joined by a funding specialist from Access to Finance team. The Access to Finance service helps SMEs become investment ready and helps them to secure appropriate funding. The team offers free and impartial advice, either on a one-to-one basis or through regular Finance and Investment Ready Workshops.
 
Speakers on the day:
 
John Moore, Access to Finance Specialist will be providing an overview of the funding sources available and advice on how to get investment ready and access these funding opportunities.
 
John Willis, Business Engagement and Inward Investment Manager at Cheshire East Council will detail business support across Cheshire East.
 
Matt O’Neill, Major Projects Manager at Cheshire East Council will provide a summary of the Digital and Creative Sector report commissioned in 2015 and outline the challenges and priorities.
