Make it Your Business

Shipston Business Support Centre is holding an information event as part of the town plan open day on 22 September 2007.  The event will take place at the Townsend Hall on Sheep Street, Shipston between 10am and 2pm.   

The Business Support Centre is managed by Coventry University Enterprises, in partnership with Stour Power with significant support and funding from Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Warwickshire County Council. 

The service is completely free of charge, and our mentors are able to support new and existing businesses in Shipston-on-Stour and the surrounding villages.  

The scheme has delivered practical support and advice to over 50 clients since it began at the beginning of 2006.  The facility has been commended as a 'great resource on our doorstep' by one local resident who is successfully managing her own list of clients just over a year later.  

"I am pleased that this level of service is being made available by the District Council and partners and I hope that businesses take up this valuable opportunity," says Councillor Chris Williams, Executive Portfolio Holder for Community Services.
