Boost your Business at Breakfast!

Save the date:?Thursday 14th July, 8.30am-10am.?

We're bringing The Mill Street Exchange to life! As we've mentioned before, The Mill Street Exchange is a free service offering no nonsense business advice here at 1 Mill Street every Thursday, 10am-2pm.?

What if a ten minute conversation could lead to you landing the investment or funding you need to take your business or concept to the next level?

Well, finance and grants are only one of the services The MSE can signpost your business to. We can also help you source top talent, find you the right space to operate from. Or, tackle some of those everyday business challenges by introducing you to one of our mentors.?

This new project has only been going a few months...and we're already helping over 40 businesses.

And we've invited four of those businesses (which all happen to be 1MS members) in to 1 Mill Street, to tell you how The Mill Street Exchange has helped them.?

So, make sure you're all available to be here on the day to hear first hand how this trailblazing, free service can boost your business.?

Oh yeah, we're providing the pastries too!??
