Shropshire Growth Hub, in collaboration with the British Business Bank, will host “New Year, New Venture” on Thursday 22 January 2026 at Shrewsbury Town Football Club.
This full-day workshop will cover the ‘essentials’ of starting your own business and is open to both Telford and Wrekin and Shropshire based business start-ups.
Shropshire Growth Hub advisors will cover topics including business structures, accounting and tax essentials, cashflow (with Matthew Woodhead), business planning (with Jamie Pratt), and marketing, social media, and market research strategies to help entrepreneurs reach their customers (with Erin Scullion).
The event will include presentations by the British Business Bank regarding available funding options and insights into enterprise and start-up loans.
Lunch and networking are included providing a chance for delegates to connect with others who are considering starting a business or have recently done so. Support will also be available from the Shropshire Growth Hub team.
