Local MP and Council Leader Open Local Enterprise Centre - 28/10/2011 |
 Local MP, Paul Goggins, and Manchester City Council Leader, Sir Richard Leese, have officially opened the new Enterprise Centre at the former Willow Park Housing office in Benchill.
The Enterprise Centre, which will provide a base for small businesses and budding entrepreneurs, is the next phase for Willow Park Housing Trust’s award-winning Enterprise Support Project. The Trust’s project has already helped over 150 business start-ups in Wythenshawe since it began in 2005.
The Centre offers all-inclusive furnished workspace and incubation units, access to phone lines and broadband; shared facilities such as photocopying, meeting rooms, a canteen area and also specialist advice and training. In addition there is an on-site Business Advisor providing free professional advice and support to office tenants and local people.
Paul Goggins MP said: “The Enterprise Support Project and Enterprise Centre are vital in raising awareness amongst local residents about the possibilities of self-employment. Those residents who have taken the plunge and set up a business are then often faced with the challenge of finding suitable premises and this Centre is ideally placed to support such people”
