A ‘HUB’ that will act as a focal point for business in Sedbergh and the surrounding rural district is to be officially launched.

Sedbergh Business Hub will offer services for enterprises including multi-use rooms for client meetings, seminars, advice/mentoring, hot-desking stations, networking, remote learning and training.

The site is part of the Rural Growth Network (RGN), a DEFRA funded initiative to help businesses in rural areas.

It will be managed by Clawthorpe Hall Business Centre, which also runs its own business hub near Burton-in-Kendal.

Sedbergh Business Hub, at 37-39 Main Street, will be declared open by MP Tim Farron on November 14.
