Business support

On Tuesday 18 July, Bradford on Avon Town Council hosted a business forum drop in event at St Margaret’s Hall from 4pm to 7.30pm.

The event was facilitated by Cognisant Research, an independent market research agency, who supported the town council with an online survey of businesses between September 2022 and February 2023.

The forum provided an opportunity for business owners and managers to offer comments and ideas on the future for business development and support in Bradford on Avon, as well as have a chance to review the results of the recent Cognisant survey and other economic development research.

The Wiltshire Growth Hub, who offer free business support and advice, were also in attendance.

Feedback from the event will be posted here once published.
