A BUSINESS advice night is being staged at the Stirk House Hotel, Gisburn, next Thursday.

It follows a similar night held in Pendle last year for businesses in rural areas.

Experts from about 20 organisations will be on hand to give advice and information on finding premises, recruitment and business planning.

The event has been organised by the county council with support from Ribble Valley Council, the Rural Development Commission and Lancashire Enterprises.

Further information is available from Ann Weaver on 01772 264147.
