Get competitive with FIT FOR BUSINESS
in the next few years, billions of
pounds will be spent to regenerate East London.
Fit for Business can help your
business be part of it.
East London is undergoing a massive
transformation with the 2012 Olympic Games and many other projects,
including Stratford City, Canning Town and many more regeneration
initiatives throughout the region. It is not just big business that
will benefit from the area’s growth: there will be countless
chances for small business to get involved.
Many small and medium businesses in
East London have services or products that they could supply for
these projects. Just some of the areas that small businesses are
winning contracts in include printing, catering,
security,professional services, construction, media and lots more.
Part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and led by
Newham College, Fit for Business can show you how to make the most
of ways to access opportunities in East London - so your business
doesn’t miss out!
