Welsh Icons News | Free business workshops and clinics in Flintshire

The team behind Flintshire Business Week has organised a week of free business workshops, presentations and one-to-one sessions during the week of 14 February – and they’re keen to encourage local businesses to come and make the most of them.

Flintshire County Council’s business development team is holding a variety of free events in association with local business experts. They include one-to-one clinics about business rates and legal property issues; presentations on a range of subjects, including marketing, customer service and social media; and workshops exploring sales strategies and business growth. The week begins with a two hour session from Job Centre Plus, which will look at employer opportunities for work experience and will promote the services available to help employers recruit new staff.

The workshops and clinics will all be held at the Deeside Enterprise Centre, Shotton, and are open to small and medium businesses based in Flintshire and neighbouring counties.

All the events are free of charge but places are limited, so booking is required.

For further information, and to book a place on any of the workshops, presentations or clinics, please contact Ashley Zepeda or Sian Woods on 01352 703040 or email [email protected]
