Entrepreneur Enterprise Hub Launched in Wrexham
An enterprise hub is to be established in Wrexham, and the group behind it is searching for potential founding members.
As reported by Insider.
The hub, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government, will be based on Queen's Square in the North Wales town.
The Wrexham Enterprise Hub will be delivered by Town Square Spaces for Business Wales.
Cabinet secretary for economy and transport, Ken Skates said:
"Our new Economic Action Plan includes a focus on strengthening our regional economies and ensuring prosperity falls more evenly across Wales, so it is great to hear the new Wrexham Enterprise Hub will be based in the very heart of the town centre.
"Encouraging an entrepreneurship culture in Wales, supporting individuals to start a business and SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to grow is vital in creating employment opportunities and providing a boost to our economy. The new hub in Queen’s Square will play a vital role in the development of our new cohort of successful and ambitious entrepreneurs and will help deliver the right environment for aspiring entrepreneurs to flourish."
Gareth Jones, the founder of Town Square Spaces, added:
"The response from the community has been very positive. We feel strongly that Wrexham has enough creative and determined people to make a success of this project, and build something that will make a positive lasting impact to the growth of the town centre.
"We've already started working with over 40 people through our 5 to 9 Club, though there are definitely many more potential business founders than at present. We believe that, given the right support, anyone with passion and the right attitude can start a business; where there is a need for a product or service, there are opportunities to create an income fulfilling that need.
"It will be our job at the Wrexham Enterprise Hub, to guide people to create a business for themselves, and therefore jobs for others in the community."
