The Business Group Salford

General information

The Business Group Salford (formerly the Chapel Street Business Group) was formed in 1999 by local business owners and managers to create a much needed business network and community voice. The organisation is made up of a strong board made up of local business owners and public sector staff.

Our diverse network is made up of members from all sectors including sole traders, limited companies, partnerships, charities, community organisations, co-operatives, social enterprises, public sector partners, further and higher education institutions and PLCs with turnovers ranging from less than £4k a year to those exceeding £0.5bn. We consider all of these organisations to be enterprises in their own right and support them accordingly.

We provide dedicated business support to local organisations which ranges from brokerage/sign-posting, networking events, workshops, seminars, mentoring, newsletters through to one-to-one advice and mentoring on topics such as business planning, marketing etc

The service provided to new, emerging and established businesses has long been acknowledged as an important part of the City of Salford’s business support infrastructure.

The Business Group founded the Salford Business Awards and continues to be a managing partner alongside the University of Salford and Salford City Council.
