We know that growing marketing skills alongside your creative practice is important to many Ignite members, so please do take your space at these free workshops. If you have any feedback any thoughts for future training to ku.gro.drofsmlehcetingi@olleh or via the Chelmsford City Council business survey.
Chelmsford Business Support
The Economic Development team at Chelmsford City Council works with businesses of all sizes and sectors located within the Chelmsford local authority area.
The team is involved in developing and implementing a range of initiatives to support Chelmsford’s economy and encourage business growth. We are also working to promote Chelmsford as a place for investment, encouraging new business start-ups and the creation of new jobs.
We recognise that every business is unique and has different needs and so we offer businesses tailored support. We work closely with local business support providers, and together we will make sure that you have access to the relevant advice and services to help your business succeed.
Please visit our Support for businesses webpage for details of our current fully funded business support programme. Current initiatives include the Lean2Green business support (1-2-1 training) programme where you can reduce your businesses carbon footprint and make financial savings through developing a business decarbonisation plan and the ‘Get better in Chelmsford’ programme, which will support you to develop your digital marketing skills.
In addition, the Get Better in Chelmsford Podcast is back for season two with an 8-episode podcast series. If you missed out on the first series, it’s not too late to catch up. You can listen to the original series. The programme will also select a further eight businesses to take through a comprehensive 12-week initiative, which will see businesses receive personalised 1-2-1 support tailored to their specific needs.
