Short, snappy, knowledge packed sessions to fill your business brain!
So what is Bitesize Business?
With time and knowledge being two of the biggest pressures facing small & medium-sized businesses, we’ve created a series of short and snappy sessions exclusively for County Durham businesses to help improve their know-how on a range of business basics. Launching on the 24th of September, businesses can apply for a place and pick from a range of topics – the most appropriate topics for you and your business.
Taking place across County Durham, we’ve picked easily accessible locations that will provide a friendly and open atmosphere allowing you to pick up Bitesize Business tips and tricks to help your business and make the difference to your day.
Have a look at the range of bitesize sessions taking place and simply pick and mix to provide you with the support you need.
