Harrow College has joined together with the Ministry for Growth and leading local Harrow businesses for an iBig event.
Aimed at spurring economic growth in the Harrow area, the iBig event was held at Harrow Council Civic Centre on Tuesday 29 April.
Under the iBig initiative small and medium sized businesses get practical help from experienced business professionals, gain vital support from experienced business people and gain access to solutions at affordable prices.
Harrow College and local Harrow businesses currently work closely together with apprentices to get them through an apprenticeship.
Hilda Stearn, director of Ministry for Growth said that iBig was an ideal platform for local businesses to get together.
“We’re trying to get local businesses talking about the challenges that they face and develop solutions to those issues and create a supportive environment.”
One local business owner who found the iBig event helpful was Sital Patel, business coach at Nurture Your Future. “It’s great being part of this innovative event. It’s a really organic way for businesses to develop ideas and help forge relationships in the Harrow business community.”
