Rotherham business showcase attracts 500 companies

BUSINESS leaders gathered for a huge conference today with the message: “Rotherham Means Business.”

The first Rotherham Means Business event was held at Magna to showcase the business and enterprise skills of the town.

Representatives of more than 500 companies and organisations flocked to the science centre’s Big Hall to hear from a series of speakers.

Julia Millea, community business coach for Rotherham Enterprise Project, said: “Today was about helping anyone in business right through from start-up to people who want to start looking to expand to those looking to meet potential buyers.

“It’s a really big event. Rotherham is an enterprising town and this has helped to promote business.”
