MORE than 300 businesses across the borough are being asked to take part in an Information Communication Technology (ICT) Survey from Pendle Council.

The survey has been set up to find out how local businesses are using computer-based technology on a day-to-day basis and in particular if they are trading online.

The information from the survey will help the council and its partners to ensure the new Need IT grant programme will meet the needs of local businesses.

John Halton, Pendle Business Support and Development Officer, said: "We need to fully understand how local businesses are using technology and what their future requirements are, if we are to effectively support investment by Pendle companies.

"Completing the survey will help Pendle Council to help Pendle companies," he added.

For further information on the survey please contact John Halton on 01282 661 679 or email john.halton@pendle.gov.uk
