Ashfield District Council is continuing to work with local businesses, including those based in Hucknall, in order to help them to access the wide range of business support available across the area.

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic the Council has offered help, support and advice to businesses with matters such as funding. This has meant they have visited many businesses across the District.

Despite the fact restrictions have now been lifted, the Council's Business Support team continues to offer help and advice to business owners and budding entrepreneurs.

As part of Succeed in Ashfield, business owners are now able to access the Business Boost Business Directory, a one stop guide for business support opportunities and contacts in the Nottinghamshire area. 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.

Councillor Mathew Relf, Cabinet Member for Regeneration & 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."
