I would encourage both start-up entrepreneurs and those who are well established to make the most of this event.”

He also went on to say that small businesses are absolutely essential for the city’s economic success.

Bristol City Council is pleased to welcome Start Up Britain to two of the city’s major areas of regeneration and business development.
