FIRED up by thoughts of business start up and expansion, dozens of county business owners attended the Federation of Small Businesses "New Year, New You" event at Wyre Forest District Council headquarters in Kidderminster.

Worcestershire FSB’s chairman Judi Brazkiewicz said: “Sometimes we get into a bit of a rut and the few days down time over Christmas and New Year not only re-charges our batteries but gives us a break from our day to day work and time to reflect on where we want to be this time next year. Often we’re going to lose weight, or take up a new hobby, but some people will undoubtedly set their sights on running their own business. The FSB’s New Year, New You! event brought local business support together so that would-be entrepreneurs could find answers to their questions and discuss: finance, business mentoring, local premises and much more with local providers.”

The event included a brief presentation about what Wyre Forest District Council can offer local entrepreneurs. A similar event will be held in partnership with Wychavon District Council, in Pershore, on Tuesday, April. 14. For more information contact FSB on 01386 750032 or email angela.fitch@fsb.org.uk
