BUDDING business leaders are being invited to see how they can grow their companies in Netherton.

Dudley councillors Qadar Zada and Elaine Taylor have teamed up with regeneration chiefs to host a swap show where building and site owners can meet entrepreneurs for an event Cllr Zada has dubbed “regeneration speed dating”.

The event, which will have developers and council business experts on hand to talk with company directors, is set to take place at Netherton Arts Centre, Northfield Road, on Saturday September 20 from 10am.

Cllr Zada said: “This is the first of its kind in Dudley, its speed dating for regeneration where we hope to bring together landlords with members of the community who want to set up in Netherton.

“We are Netherton folk and have always lived in Netherton, it’s a thriving little community. We appeal to anyone who is looking for an opportunity to come along and see what’s available”
