Professional services firms back Gateshead Business Network

Two of the North East’s leading professional services firms are backing Gateshead Business Network.

Law firm Ward Hadaway and accountancy firm RSM are supporting and sponsoring the network, which has more than 800 members from businesses across Gateshead.

Gateshead Business Network supports small to medium-sized enterprises, and has been specifically designed to encourage business growth.

It offers networking events that allow business owners and entrepreneurs to communicate, inter-trade and collectively address challenges as well as keeping businesses up to date with opportunities, news and events. Services also include assisting businesses with premises search for new start-ups, or to support expansion.

Top 100 UK law firm Ward Hadaway has been involved with Gateshead Business Network since 2014.

As part of its backing for the network, Ward Hadaway, which has offices in Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester, is offering free monthly legal advice drop-in sessions for businesses within the network as well as “no obligation initial consultations” without charge for network members in between times.

The firm’s raft of specialist legal teams means it can offer help and advice on the full range of legal issues encountered by small to medium-sized businesses, such as contracts, commercial agreements, employment, property and funding.

Leading international audit, tax and consulting firm, RSM, has also worked with the network since 2014 and will be assisting in providing business and accountancy support to the Gateshead Business Network community, offering advice in tax, audit and assurance as well as other financial and consultative services.

 

 

Gateshead Business Network’s next meeting takes place on Wednesday 21 June at Gateshead Civic Centre from 8am to 9am.
