If you are a business or entrepreneur - we need you! We are looking to revitalise the town centre and we can do that when we all come together.
RSVP here, and invite other people who need to be part of this conversation: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/kettering-town-centre-forum-for-business-and-community-tickets-957339888377
The plan for this meeting will be to look for:
• Potential partnerships between businesses who may wish to rent share (and showcase the options in the town centre) – great opportunity to network with other businesses here
• Discuss new business ideas with entrepreneurs and/or offer individuals interested in starting a business some proposals
If you are interested in being your own boss and creating a business to run in the town centre, consider what you think would work well or there are a couple of ideas below you may find interesting.*
I will also offer an update on other venues in the town centre eg. The bingo hall, the town centre markets and events, some clever schemes (BIDs and Citizen Coin) and we can discuss what is good and bad at present, and ideas people have to improve things.
*Business proposals for the town centre
1) Walk-in art venue
- Pay £10/£15 to paint for approx 2 hours
- Could be booked for adult or children's parties, by schools or SEND groups
- Otherwise open to the public, with a bar for adults to socialise and have a drink
This fulfils: Activity offering to young and old, activity hub, vibrancy to town centre
2) Hotdesking subscription venue
- Key fob entry
- Pay X per month to be a member
- Hotdesking site with free/cheap tea and coffee
- Over time could get gym and shower facilities integrated
The fulfils: Need for those working at home in isolation to have somewhere to come, brings footfall into the town, could also act as networking hub
3) Vegetarian and vegan café/restaurant
- Previously have had a vegan cafe on Market Street
- Demand locally is definitely here, needs a good offering
