GREATER Manchester’s Business Growth Hub has partnered with Trafford council to provide more support for people wanting to start a new business within the borough.

Suzanne Bradbury will use her wealth of experience to help new and recently-establishe­d small businesses to grow. She draws on over 25 years’ experience working in profession­al services and management consultanc­y. She also set up her own internatio­nal business supplying lighting and audio equipment, and holds both a law degree and MBA.

Working alongside existing advisor Tony Ward, and the council’s Strategic Growth Team, Suzanne will also be able to provide access to the wide range of business support services provided by Business Growth Hub, including: business planning, access to finance and digital transforma­tion.

Executive member for housing and strategic planning, Coun David Hopps, said: “It’s great news that small businesses in Trafford now have two expert advisors to help them grow and add to the economic prosperity of the borough. The Growth Hub is an excellent initiative and the council is working closely with it to ensure our entreprene­urs get the best support.” Richard Jeffery, director of Business Growth Hub, added: “Suzanne will add a new dimension to business support in Trafford, helping young businesses to grow.”
