Business Workshops

We’re putting together a series of ‘Gedling Business Connect’ workshops to help businesses in Gedling grow and promote their businesses better online. The six courses will cover a range of training to help improve your skills to build your customer base and help you to sell products online and in-person.

The events are FREE and are being run by Gedling Borough Council along with several award winning business coaches including Debbie Doodah, who was recently awarded the UK Digital Women of the Year 2020 award and is a champion of supporting business to improve. Debbie is a business coach who helps businesses improve by simplifying the things that make business a success. The events are focused on how to improve your social media presence, visual merchandising, photography, building websites and more.

The events are being funded by the European Regional Development Fund as part of the council’s #Rediscover campaign that aims to encourage more people to shop locally and also raise the awareness of business in the borough’s town centre.
