Visitors to some of Northern Ireland’s busiest north coast destinations are being encouraged to consider whether the time is right to start or grow their own business.
A high-profile outdoor advertising campaign launched by the region’s enterprise support service Go Succeed is bringing the message to tourism hot spots around the north coast throughout September and October.
The lightbox installations are being positioned in prominent locations across the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough during a campaign designed to capture the attention of local residents and visitors enjoying an autumn break or day out.
Locations include outside Portrush Harbour and on Ballycastle’s seafront with the campaign aiming to reach aspiring entrepreneurs who may be using their time away from work to reflect on a business idea, as well as established business owners considering their next stage of growth.
It highlights the free advice and support available through Go Succeed, including one-to-one mentoring, masterclasses, peer networks, business planning and access to grant funding.
Go Succeed is funded by the UK Government and delivered by Northern Ireland’s 11 councils.
Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Dawn Huggins, said:
“We are fortunate on the north coast to welcome visitors from across Northern Ireland to Portrush, Ballycastle and the wider Causeway Coast and Glens Borough, making these locations ideal places to showcase the support available through Go Succeed.
“Time away from our normal routines can often give us the space to think about an idea we have been considering, reassess our ambitions or make plans for the future. We want this campaign to prompt people to think about what they could achieve with the right guidance and support.
“Whether someone has the beginnings of a new business idea, is ready to take the first steps towards starting a business or wants to grow an existing enterprise, Go Succeed can provide practical and accessible support tailored to their needs.”
Go Succeed supports entrepreneurs, new starts and existing businesses with easy-to-access advice and support – including mentoring, masterclasses, peer networks, access to grant funding and business planning – at every stage of their growth journey.
