100 South West Business Challengers campaign
launched
25 January 2010
The South West’s 100 most exciting companies
have provided inspirational ideas to help local businesses prosper
and grow in 2010. This is part of a pioneering campaign by the
South West RDA and Business Link, launched today.
Each of the 100 businesses displays the type
of drive, passion and innovative approach that has enabled them to
go head-to-head with their market leaders and succeed despite
fierce competition.
These powerful and motivational ideas are
being shared through the 100 South
West Business Challengers campaign. The campaign is
being supported by Northcliffe Publishing and the BBC across the
South West.
With trading conditions this year likely to
remain challenging, local businesses will need to outthink their
competitors - and these 100 South West Business Challengers
will show how.
The campaign gives no-nonsense advice,
delivered in easy-to-understand language with tips on essential
topics from marketing to innovation, skills and finance.
Business Link’s advisers will be analysing
these lessons and providing practical advice which owner-managers
can use to develop and grow their businesses.
The 100 South West Business Challengers
campaign will run for 100 working days until Friday, 11 June. Each
day a new Challenger profile will be uploaded onto the Business
Link website and Northcliffe’s South West Business site -
http://www.southwestbusiness.co.uk/.
South West RDA chief executive Jane Henderson
said: “The South West has a strong track record of enterprise,
creativity and innovation. The 100 companies profiled as part of
this campaign are excellent examples of how, by putting these into
practice, small businesses can successfully challenge the market
leaders.”
Business Link, as the independent gateway to
business support across the South West, is committed to helping
small and medium-sized firms through the current challenging
economic conditions.
