Calderdale Council held the free Local Trades Business Breakfast for sole traders, companies and newly qualified tradespeople at Calderdale College in Halifax on Tuesday, September 10.
Attendees had the chance to talk about their aspirations and the current challenges for the trades sector, as well as get free advice and training on business start-up, growth and supply chain development.
Guests were able to meet Calderdale Council’s major projects and business support teams, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, other public sector organisations, major contractors including Galliford Try and Keepmoat, and Go4Growth.
Coun Sarah Courtney, Calderdale Council’s cabinet member for regeneration and transport, said: “Calderdale is booming, and we want local trades to be part of it.
“The many tradespeople working across Calderdale do really valuable work in our communities. As part of our priority for thriving towns and places, we want to help them grow their businesses.
“Putting on events like the Business Breakfast, providing ongoing help through our council teams and partner organisations, and supporting local suppliers in our projects and contract work are just some of the ways we do this, while also contributing towards an inclusive economy that everyone can contribute to and benefit from.”
