The turnout for this event has been great. We’ve got a really pack room full of different people from different organizations all across, not just greater Manisonal but the Northwest as well. We’ve heard from a panel of people from backgrounds who’ve told their stories about them moving across to the UK, how it was them finding employment and support they’ve received to do that. We’ve also now got a panel of business experts who work for businesses employing people from different backgrounds and kind of how to do that and how to support the communities to get the talent into the workforces. We’ve got lots of different events coming up through the Business Growth HUB, so we’ve got our BGH match networking events that take place at different localities every month. So upcoming we’ve got a number of those that are going to be taking place in Rusdale. Stopport. Bolton and Wigan  that will take us up to Christmas and then in New Year we’re going to have a new cycle of those, the Business Growth.
