Be Your Own Boss

Two events held in October were designed to help local people to do just that! Business Link Merseyside organised the two evenings which were aimed at raising awareness and providing information for local people on starting their own businesses. Local Enterprise Adviser, Colin Prescott explained why the evenings were necessary.

“There are a lot of people out there who may have a solid business idea but are unsure what help is available. By holding these types of events we hope to simplify the problem and ensure that local entrepreneurs have the best possible chance to establish themselves as their own boss.”

Local people who attended the events were impressed as some of their comments can testify.

“Very interesting... a bit of an eye opener.”
“I found the event very encouraging - it really spurred me on.” &#'147;Gave me focus, direction and started me moving the right way.”

Colin felt both evenings were a success. “Things are moving in Knowsley and local people are helping to make a difference by taking advantage of the help there is on offer.”
