A WEEK of free workshops, drop-ins and seminars aimed at giving Pendle businesses a boost is set to return.

This year's Pendle Business Week, which has been organised by Pendle Council and Pendle Vision, brings together a wide range of business specialists who can help businesses to grow and want to start their own business.

During next Wednesday's Pendle Connects’ Insider Insights session, five of Pendle’s well known entrepreneurs will share the paths they took to steer their businesses to the success stories they are now.

Other sessions during the Week include marketing, business communication, bookkeeping, social media, how to sell and how to attract investment.

A free one day female leadership course combining experiential learning and one to one support from some the UK’s most inspiring leaders, Called Women on the Up, will take place next Thursday.

Pendle Business Week will run from Monday October 16 to Friday October 20.
