Eleanor backs business week

Eleanor Burnham, Liberal Democrat Assembly Member for North Wales, is backing Wrexham Council's business week after attending the launch breakfast seminar on Monday (October 20th, 2008).

Featuring a variety of small seminars to large conferences and exhibitions, covering a wide range of business-related topics, there are events tailored to the needs of all types of businesses, from new start-ups to those that have the potential to expand.

Speaking after the launch Ms Burnham said: "At a time when unemployment is rising and talk of a recession is top of the business agenda, these events are crucial in helping businesses to weather the financial storm, protect their business from the economic downturn and be in a strong position when we come out of the other side of this situation."
