Ulster Bank Boost brings business seminar to Derry and Newry

The first of the two events takes place in the Canal Court Hotel, Newry on Tuesday, February 25 where after breakfast, guests will explore the many challenges facing business owners when trying to access finance.

A panel of experts from a host of organisations including Invest Northern Ireland, InterTrade Ireland, Newry & Mourne Enterprise Agency and Full Circle will be on hand to provide practical tips and insight for business owners who want to inject some cash into their company.

The following day, the event comes to the Millennium Forum with representatives from Londonderry Chamber and InterTrade Ireland again taking to the stage.

Both events hope to give attendees a greater understanding of the various finance sources which are available to SMEs and the many routes business owners can take to apply for this. Members of Ulster Bank’s Credit Team will also be on hand at both sessions to answer any questions guests may have on applying for suitable funding.

Cara Taylor, Business Growth Enabler with Ulster Bank, who has organised the event in Newry said: “At Ulster Bank we recognise that for some business owners, accessing suitable levels of finance can often be a challenge and act as barrier to future growth plans. By bringing together a panel of experts who have experience in navigating this field, we hope to streamline the process and show entrepreneurs in the Newry area that we are here to help them apply for suitable funding.

Lisa McCaul, also a Business Growth Enabler with Ulster Bank added: “I’d like to thank our partners at both Newry and Derry Chamber of Commerce for helping us to deliver this event and all of the various speakers who will add to what promises to be a useful and informative discussion.”

This event is a part of a series of free local business events organised by Ulster Bank Boost across Northern Ireland to provide local businesses with the tools, knowledge and networks they need to grow. To find out more, visit ulsterbank.com/boost or follow #ulsterbankboost on twitter.
