Be Enterprising is a programme organised by Durham County Council for anyone looking for start up business advice. There are five teams which cover the county and each area holds its own events to promote the programme to anyone who is thinking about or has started a business in County Durham. The teams who cover South Durham (including Bishop Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, Spennymoor and Willington) hosted two events in 2010 ‘Be Your Own Boss’ in Newton Aycliffe Youth Centre and Bishop Auckland Town Hall.
Both ‘Be Your Own Boss’ events invited support agencies and existing Be Enterprising clients to showcase their businesses and products as well as provide help and support to anyone thinking about starting their own business.
One of the success stories at the event held in Newton Aycliffe was Amanda Heaviside, Fairyhill Cakes Fairy Hill Cakes. Amanda bought along a huge selection of her handmade cupcakes to sell at the event and they were snapped up by everyone exhibiting as well as the visitors to the event.
At both events some of the Business Coaches went to hand leaflets out on the day of the event in the surrounding area of each venue and employed some interesting ways to get them noticed by using Stilt Walkers and a Town Crier.
Here are some of the photos from both events:
