Aug 7 2008 by Graham Fraser, Hamilton Advertiser

HAMILTON companies are being offered free business workshops.

New and existing businesses in the town can take advantage of a wide range of programmes run by Business Gateway Lanarkshire throughout August and September.

From honing financial management skills to developing marketing knowledge, understanding the tax system to finding out the basics of business start-up, there’s a workshop that can help you flourish.

Lesley Robertson, owner of Platform Promotions and Platform Spray Tanning in Hamilton, said: “The workshops offered by Business Gateway Lanarkshire have been immensely useful and helped us grow and develop our business throughout the West of Scotland.

“I would encourage other Hamilton companies who are looking to take their business to the next level to attend a range of workshops as they are a great way to tap into expert advice for free.”

The comprehensive programme will be held in the Barncluith Business Centre in Townhead Street.
