TAUNTON Deane Council has arranged a meeting for rural businesses in the Wiveliscombe and Milverton areas later this month.

The Business Networking meeting is being held at Milverton's Globe Inn on Tuesday, January 27 at 7.30pm.

Meeting monthly, the group has a programme of speakers, with a representative of the Inland Revenue lined up for this month.

The group is aimed at sole traders and people who work from home who feel they lack networking opportunities with other businesses.

If you need someone to chat business ideas through with or aren't sure where to go for help and advice, this could be just what you need.

All are welcome and refreshments will be provided.

For more information please contact rural regeneration officer Hattie Winter on 01823-356485 or e-mail: h.winter@tauntondeane.gov.uk
