Louise Gridley, in collaboration with West Suffolk Market Services, designed and delivered a 6-week training programme for would-be artisan traders. The free programme was designed to teach the necessary business skills and market ‘know-how’, enabling artisans to build a sustainable business that could contribute to the local economy. The 4 successful applicants received 6 weeks of free trading on WSC markets and a free business launch at BSE Christmas Fayre.
