“Finding out what help is available could be the difference between a business struggling, or progressing and thriving in what are difficult times for many companies.

“The launch of Enterprise Kettering will make our offering clearer, easier and more accessible for the local community.”

Enterprise Kettering has also announced that the Teenage Market will be returning to Kettering on July 14 and December 1, 2018.

The council says it’s a great opportunity for youngsters to learn first-hand business related skills, with free stalls and insurance to those aged 13-21.
