The Start-Up Business Showcase Event will be held on Friday 14 November, from 10:00am to 2:00pm, in the historic St Helens Town Hall. The free to attend event is a chance to support brand new businesses trading in St Helens.
From handmade goods and delicious treats to cutting-edge services, the Start-Up Business Showcase Event offers residents and fellow businesses a chance to meet the faces behind St Helens' newest ventures, shop local, and discover the innovation on their doorstep.
Councillor Kate Groucutt, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Business and Inclusive Growth at St Helens Borough Council said:
"It is fantastic to see so many ambitious businesses starting in our Borough and events such of this are recognition of the creativity, grit and talent of our local residents. As a Council we are committed to supporting the entrepreneurial spirit of the Borough and make St Helens a place where businesses can start and thrive. It is inspirational to see these businesses starting out their journey and contributing positively to the local economy and the local area, I would encourage all residents and fellow business owners to come along and show their support."
Alan Lyon from Infinity Media Labs, who will be featured in the showcase, said:
"From working in a factory to living my dream of video editing, it has been a journey I never thought I would make. I have now started my video editing business using old school video editing techniques and embracing AI. Being part of the Start-up Business Showcase event gives me the opportunity to show potential customers and visitors my work and the passion I bring to my new business every day."
Whether you're a curious shopper, a budding entrepreneur, a proud resident or business owner, Enterprise Week offers a front-row seat to the borough's next chapter of innovation and growth.
