Calling all Stockport businesses and entrepreneurs!
Support drop-in sessions available

• Tailored support – at no cost to businesses – available to businesses in Stockport.
• Drop-in slots to talk to Tom Avery, Stockport's Stakeholder Account Manager for GM Business Growth Hub.
• A day designed for businesses of any size and individuals who are aspiring entrepreneurs     

GM Business Growth Hub are working in collaboration with Profolk to make fully funded business support more accessible to businesses in Stockport.

Finding the time to step back from your business to address challenges or capitalise on opportunities for growth can be difficult.

Tom Avery, Stockport's Stakeholder Account Manager for the GM Business Growth Hub, will be in Profolk and on hand to discuss your business and the support available to you.

Tom will discuss attendees’ business and is able to refer them to the any support, either those provided by GM Business Growth Hub or those specifically available in Stockport by other providers.

Tom commented: "These sessions are a fantastic opportunity for local businesses and entrepreneurs to access tailored, fully funded support. No matter the size or sector, we’re here to help businesses thrive and adapt to the challenges ahead."

Alongside aspiring entrepreneurs and pre-start enterprises, businesses of all shapes, sizes and sectors are invited to attend the Business Support Drop-In Sessions on 9th October at Profolk, Bank Chambers, Stockport, SK1 1AR.

Attendees will also receive a free ‘taster day’ at Profolk that they can activate at the time or whenever they wish.

Jamie Hall, Development Director at Profolk said: “The business help drop-in sessions ran by the GM Growth Hub have been a superb complement to our offering at PROFOLK. Our workspaces provide a grade A working environment that our members find inspiring and allow their business to thrive. However, unfortunately, we do not offer formal business help. This is now being provided on a regular basis from our space for both our members and small business in Stockport. 

Our members have been very complimentary of the advice given thus far and look forward to working with the GM Growth Hub further to assist their business ambitions. For non-members attending the drop-in sessions we are offering a free trial day for you to come and join our community work space.”

Anyone interested can book a one-hour slot to talk to Tom. Booking places can be done here.

These drop in sessions are for:

Stockport-based businesses, businesses interested in moving to Stockport and residents who live in Stockport who are keen to embark on a self-employed journey.
