Bridlington Business Centre, run by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, is offering a range of office units, workshops and advice from qualified business advisers for start-up and existing businesses.
The centre, which is situated in Bessingby Industrial Estate, offers lets on easy-in, easy-out terms as well as administrative support, business support, shared managed resources, such as reception, kitchens, toilets, accessible loading bay and modern conference facilities, available for tenants and non-tenants. The site has ample on-site car parking and is DDA compliant.
Over the past 10 years the centre has offered business advice and support to over 2000 clients in the local area and 240 clients in the last year.
Since opening in 1998, the business centre has assisted 28 new business start-ups to take office space and provided further office accommodation for 44 established businesses. The business centre initiative in Bridlington has aided the creation of 53 new jobs and allowed the safeguard of another 82. The centre has also overseen the expansion of 41 businesses who have secured larger self-contained premises in the local area.
The result of a business premises study in 2006 identified the need for units ranging from 800–1500sqft and East Riding of Yorkshire Council subsequently developed the Enterprise Units, adjacent to the business centre, to bridge a much needed gap in the area. These facilities have seen three new business start-ups take space and accommodated six established local businesses, which in turn has created 21 new jobs and safeguarded a further 41.
Councillor Andy Burton, cabinet portfolio holder for economic development and regeneration, said: “East Riding of Yorkshire Council is determined to support businesses across the East Riding and help grow the local economy.
“The council’s business centres are providing start-up and existing businesses with affordable premises as well as support and guidance to help them through these uncertain economic times and allow them to flourish in the future.”
The venue also has a conference room, for up to 18 delegates, for hire at a cost of £100 per day, £60 for a half day or £18 per hour. A smaller meeting room which can accommodate up to six people is also available.
