A FREE free business advice and support service for Studley firms has been launched.
Called the Studley Business Support Panel it’s being backed by the village’s local forum, Studley in Business.
The idea is for people to phone or email in with their issue, and then a panel of Studley in business members and volunteers with relevant skills will form to work with the business and offer free advice.
Studley in business chair, Sian Smith said: “The group wants to support the local business community as we all move into a potentially challenging time following the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Following a discussion around how this could be achieved, the idea of creating a Business Support Panel for local businesses was suggested.
“Local businesses wanting or needing help and assistance can approach the panel for any help and advice as necessary.
“If you would like to be involved as a volunteer member of the panel – or if you think our panel may be able to help your business, please get in touch.”
Areas of expertise include: Websites, marketing and social media marketing, accountancy, tax and furlough advice, supply chain, logistics and special project support, legal matters, wills and taxes, IT skills, managing a small business.
Justin Kerridge is co-ordinating the support panels – contact him at [email protected] or call 07970 518953.
