Enterprise Centres are place that offers advice, information, and space for small businesses to start and grow. we don't have one in Cheadle but do have may independent traders. As major expansion at one of the county council’s enterprise centres is progressing well and set to be completed in November. We wonder if one might work here?

The £1.6million project at Newcastle Enterprise Centre in Knutton will see six workshop units built. It is estimated that when fully occupied, up to 28 people will be working on site. The centre was converted from an old school building in the 1980s. Its units are in high demand – especially larger ones which the expansion will provide. It’s hoped that the new units will be available shortly after completion. The expansion is being mainly funded through a £1.14million central government allocation which has been managed by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, with a further £440,000 investment by Staffordshire County Council. The new units will vastly improve the centre’s offer, providing high quality workshop space to small businesses in the area. Larger units will attract step-up businesses and give them a base to grow and thrive. Like all the county council’s enterprise centres across Staffordshire, it offers flexible tenancies on a short-term basis, with an on-site team to provide support and networking opportunities.
