Taking the big step and venturing into self employment is one of the most exciting and exhilarating choices anyone can make. And now the Trimdons and Fishburn have their very own Enterprise Coach based in the heart of the community to give you all of the information, advice and support that you need to get your ideas off the ground. Emily Edwards, the new Be Enterprising Coach for Trimdons and Fishburn, is based at Trimdon House, Trimdon Village. Emily has joined Be Enterprising from Gateshead Council’s Economic Development service, where she supported over 50 Gateshead residents to set up and grow their businesses. Emily says “Business Ideas come from the people you know, the stories you hear, the work you do, your interests, opinions and experiences. Some could change your life, improve your community or even make your fortune. We all have good ideas – but the trick is to take action. Be Enterprising is here to support people like you to turn your business ideas into reality.” Emily specialises in business start-up and can give you hands on support, as and when you need it, to help you to research and develop your ideas, plan for your business, access funding, manage your finances and promote your business, helping it move from strength to strength.
