TRAFFORD Council has announced the launch of its a new website that aims to provide a range of information targeted at local businesses and investors.

The new website is designed to promote Trafford as a location to do business, drawing on its position as the ‘economic powerhouse’ of Greater Manchester.

It also provides a ‘one-stop shop’ for existing Trafford businesses, with a full directory of business support and funding opportunities, a business events calendar, and regular news updates.

Other features of the site include an online property search facility for businesses looking for new premises in the borough.

Trafford Council Leader, Councillor Sean Anstee, explained: “This website builds on the ‘Trafford - First For Business’ branding we launched in 2013, and provides a fantastic platform for us to engage more effectively with businesses.

The website can be viewed at www.investintrafford.com. For further information about the website or locating in Trafford, businesses can also e-mail business@trafford.gov.uk.
