Business Link
A key factor in improving the region’s economic performance is
the provision of an effective and targeted business support
environment.
The NWDA's restructuring of the region's Business Link service
following a major review brings the service in line with the
Regional Economic Strategy (RES).

consistent and high quality business support service to businesses
across the region. The service includes a large number of
