A young entrepreneur knew nothing about her business neighbours and has used that fact to launch a new company.If we can, you can member Anna Smith, 23, from Middlesbrough, currently works as a client relations manager for a creative and digital agency based at the town’s Riverside Industrial Estate.
She realised that she knew very little about other companies at the estate or how they might work together.
And that was the springboard for the launch of the Industrial Estate Network which aims to bring together businesses based at the Riverside, but with a long-term goal of rolling out the scheme nationwide.
Anna said: “The Riverside is a massive estate with lots of different kinds of businesses but nobody really knows about each other. It’s a shame because we could all be missing out on providing services to other companies on the estate.”
The Industrial Estate Network has already won a great deal of support from organisations including Cleveland Police, Middlesbrough Council, Love Middlesbrough, PD Ports and AV Dawson who have all recognised the benefits.
Anna’s plans include an official launch of the network, and is also offering businesses on the estate the chance to join for free for a trial period.
“Being part of an organisation like this is about forming a new community and network.
“A lot of people recognise this which is why I’m getting such a positive response.”
