The Business Alliance opened it's doors for business at the beginning of January by sending out 200 letters to local businesses inviting them to join. We've already got a steady stream of businesses signing up, who are now listed on the directory, and many offers of help and support as a result.
We're planning to produce a visitor flyer within the next couple of months to distribute to tourist attractions and hotels in the catchment area extolling the virtues of Tarporley to encourage more spending visitors to come. We'll also shortly be announcing our programme of meetings at which we will have speakers, members will be able to meet and exchange ideas on how we can work together, and they will also be able to display details of their products and services to prospective members who will also be invited. We intend to gain positive publicity for Tarporley which we hope will benefit ALL businesses here.
The Business Alliance is open to ALL types of business from home working sole traders, through High St Traders to out of sight commercial offices, farms, larger hotels and leisure businesses. Our object is to promote and improve the image of Tarporley for the benefit of businesses, visitors and residents.
A group of volunteers have been working as a steering group to define the objectives, constitution and initial offering. Once we have recruited members it will become their Business Alliance and future policy, officers, activities, programme etc will be determined by them. Voting membership will be open to businesses within the catchment area shown. Associate membership will be open to other businesses beyond with a demonstrable interest in Tarporley.
