News on Newcastle High Streets

As part of the Newcastle East High Streets project, BIPC (Business & Intellectual Property Centre) Newcastle will be hosting a “Go Green for Business Growth” workshop at Byker Community Fire Station to introduce green, sustainable, and ethical business practices in your business to attract and retain customers, reduce energy costs, and help you secure new contracts and investment.

The workshop will feature a session with Andy Ditchburn from Perro Communications, who will detail how businesses can use their green credentials to create a competitive advantage and provide general tips on how to communicate green credentials through marketing and communication material.

You’ll also hear from businesses who have developed green credentials about the real difference it has made and the benefits and BIPC ‘s Green Experts in Residence will be talking about the free support they can provide to help you along your green journey.

The BIPC Team will also be telling you about the newly launched Citylife Business Support Grant available to Newcastle-based businesses and provide more information about the Newcastle East High Streets project to help transform High Streets in the East End.

We are also looking for businesses looking to adopt greener ways of trading to get involved in our new Green Street project, due to commence in early 2023. We’ll explain about the enhanced support you can access through this project and will be recruiting interested businesses at the event.
