Business success: your 2012 calendar launched

Business success: your 2012 calendar launched

Surrounded by the brightest and best of the UK’s entrepreneurs, business minister Mark Prisk MP launched rather a useful tool for the UK’s small businesses at BIS HQ  – a definitive calendar of events to help small business throughout Britain for every month in 2012.

Targeted at pre start ups as well as established and new businesses, the calendar marks the first time all Britain’s best business events feature on the same site in a searchable format.  There are 600-plus events listed already – and Mark Prisk is aiming to get 1,000 online in the near future. He said:

“We want 2012 to be the year of enterprise, where entrepreneurs can unlock their business potential. Enterprise events don’t just take place on one day, or during one week, but they appear throughout the year and across the country.

“We need to make sure people know that there is support and advice available, that it is easy to get, and it is often on their doorstep.”

The most up-to-date version of the calendar is online to search or download – and even upload your own event.  Many events are free, so the calendar could well become an invaluable tool for you – and at the very least should benefit you with a couple of days of advice, inspiration and a range of handy new contacts.  And if you're looking for local events, including workshops and networking, membership is free for small businesses.  Get the benefits here.
