A FREE series of events to support fledging local businesses in the Swindon area will start this July.

The events, taking place at Rombourne Service Offices at Kingston House, Lydiard Fields, will host workshops and talks by local entrepreneurs on anything from copywriting to helping businesses rediscover their focus.

Shirley Hensher, a career coach with 25 year's experience in the business world, and owner of Change Agent, will run a two-hour afternoon workshop on July 3.

She said: “I am really looking forward to running the workshop in July and helping business people rediscover their sense of direction and purpose, so they can align their daily activities with what is really important to them and to their business.”

On July 18 business owners can get tips of crafting web copy and press releases from Jo smyth, who runs PR and copywriting agency Word Worker.

Jo said: “I always enjoyed copy clinics when I was a young journalist, and received some really fantastic advice from my editors, so I am looking forward to helping business owners unlock their own writing potential.”
