Warehouse premises to let in Bristol would be part of local social-enterprise
Moves are being made for Bristol to be recognised nationally as a social-enterprise city. The aim is to raise the profile of the sector, attract extra finance and help to make a bigger contribution to the local economy.
Colin Skellett, chairman of the Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “This is already a strong sector and we have high hopes that it will go from strength to strength by galvanising a wide range of entrepreneurs who are committed to the cause and will work together to achieve their shared aim.”
The Bristol and Bath Social Enterprise Network is led by a group of social entrepreneurs, practitioners and support organisations. Stephen Parsons, chairman of the Quartet Community Foundation and the Local Enterprise Partnership’s Social Enterprise Sector Group, said: “Bristol should be recognised as a leader in this sector.”
