THE Pershore Business Day is a new initiative by the Chamber of Commerce Herefordshire and Worcestershire designed to showcase the range of high quality help and advice available to businesses.

In a unique event next Wednesday, the Chamber representatives will be joined by Inland Revenue, Customs and Excise, the Trading Standards Service and ACAS to provide an opportunity for local business people to fully explore the huge range of business support services accessible to them.

Wychavon District Council's economic development officers will also be exhibiting their various local support services, including property location, economic information, business

rates and licensing.

The event is at the Civic centre, Pershore, and will be officially opened at 10am by Councillor Mike Barratt, council chairman.
