Businesspeople and entrepreneurs in Swaffham will be given the chance to receive advice and support when the region's Business Link mobile office visits the town next month.

Business Link - in partnership with Breckland Council and Swaffham Town Council together with the Iceni Partnership - is trying to ensure that people in rural and hard-to-reach areas can have access to the help, advice and information they need to start or run their businesses.

The office will be stopping at the car park in front of the Assembly Rooms on October 2.

Philip Westhead, business adviser at Business Link, said: “Our mobile office is a fantastic new asset.

“By having the flexibility to travel around the region we are able to reach many more businesses and potential businesses out there who can benefit from our services, a bit like a mobile information hub.”

There is no need to make an appointment for the Swaffham visit, which will run from 9am to 5pm.
