Business support

A weekly teaching and support group for business owners, Fit 4 Business, has come to Nelson. The first session was held yesterday and had a great response, said group convenor Rebecca Morris. ‘‘We had 12 people there and really good feedback,’’ said Morris. The programme aims for business owners to merge networking and mental and physical wellbeing. The group will meet on a weekly basis to set goals for the upcoming week and is open to any business owners. ‘‘It gives a whole-hearted approach, in order to run a business you need to be emotionally capable,’’ said Morris. Managing director Bryce Robb started Fit 4 Business in 2011 and has seen it grow significantly, with groups meeting in Christchurch and Auckland. The next Fit 4 Business event will be held at Zumo Coffee House on Rutherford St next Friday March 20 from 9.20 to 10.30am.
