A new programme has been launched aiming to support aspiring entrepreneurs across Wiltshire.

New Business Worx will provide a range of support and advice on starting and growing a business.

It will officially be launched by the Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership on May 16.

The programme will include one-to-one mentoring sessions, access to funding opportunities, business workshops and networking events.

It is open to any individual or business based in Swindon or Wiltshire, with a focus on supporting those in the early stages of their business journey.

This comes after a number of ventures in recent years to promote Swindon and Wiltshire based startups and encourage entrepeneurship.
