A PROJECT to boost business in Hyndburn gets under way next week.

A workshop - Getting and Keeping Customers - will be held on Wednesday, July 2, as part of a joint project between Hyndburn Council and Lancashire Enterprises.

The project aims to help small and medium-sized businesses in the borough to grow.

Said David Taylor, chief executive of Lancashire Enterprises: "By talking to Hyndburn companies we have been able to establish their specific problems and needs.

"This project has very clear targets and by working with the business community I am sure these can be achieved."

The workshop, which will be held at the Globe Centre, Accrington, is part of a series of events aimed at helping firms grow and create jobs.
