Business in Bruton is set for a boost with work beginning on a new £2.7m Enterprise Centre at Coombe Hill.
The centre will be home to 10 new offices, two meeting rooms and seven 50 square metre industrial units. The site will also have car parking (including electric), a bike lock-up, and a small kitchen in the office building. Somerset’s Enterprise Centres, of which there are eight in Somerset, are specially designed to accommodate rural businesses by offering flexible tenancies, superfast broadband and competitive rents, as well as access to business support and networking.
They provide ‘easy in’ and ‘easy out’ terms to make it as straightforward and low risk as possible for businesses to access and aim to encourage suitable businesses to take their next step. Cabinet Member for Economic Development at Somerset County Council, Councillor David Hall says the County Council is determined not only to support businesses through the pandemic but to continue planning for the future by investing in projects such as the Bruton Enterprise Centre, that offer opportunities for growth for years to come.
The Bruton centre is backed with an £800,000 grant from the government’s ‘Getting Building Fund’. For more information visit www.somerset-enterprise-centres.co.uk
