North East Mayor Kim McGuinness today launched a drive to create 2,300 new jobs by helping small businesses in the region thrive and grow. The Mayor’s new North East Investment Fund includes £70 million of new money from the Combined Authority to support innovative new businesses and help small firms take the next big step to success. The new fund will provide investment in the form of equity and lending and enable growth of regional businesses who are underserved by the mainstream finance market. First investments by the fund are expected to be made by summer this year, subject to the Cabinet of the North East Combined Authority approving its creation at a meeting on 18 March.

A great summary of the evening, Alison Gittins: "energy, connections, music, smiles, laughter, and great moves" 🕺💃 Our Durham Business Club events embrace many different venues and formats, but the thing that underpins all of them is our belief that #networking should always be enjoyable, as well as effective. The best business relationships are ones with people who you know, like and trust, and we are very proud to keep doing our bit to make that magic happen! 🌟 #durham #countydurham #northeast #northeastengland

What a brilliant day I had networking yesterday! In the afternoon, I was at Gateshead College with Zoe Maylam and Nikki Masterman 🥦 for their Inspired HR event. Four amazing speakers; Elaine Parker, Maxine Fox, Chris Harvey and Linda Lowther talked about their personal and business journies showing resilience, positive mindset and invaluable learning along the way; truly inspirational. Then a change of tempo at 61Durham with Alison Gittins and Marie Nesbit with Durham Business Group, where we got our dancing shoes on and strutted our stuff with Joo-Lee Lewis! Great catching up and chatting with Kay McCready, Paula Mitchell, Scott Wilson-Laing, Kevin Spowart, Christine Parkin (CeMAP)and David Morris #networking #connections #selfchallenge #mentalhealthandwellbeing #businesswellbeing

What an amazing evening! Networking with a twist at the gorgeous 61 at Hallgarth Manor. What an incredible way to meet “movers & shakers” and make new connections, and have fun with existing ones! 💃 🪩 Thank you Alison Gittins and everyone at Durham Business Group.

A great night at 61 Durham with Durham Business Group making connections through movement with Joo-Lee Lewis. Congratulations to Sarah Jane Phelps for winning the dance off 💃🏻 #Durham #Networking #Salsa #Connections #Movement #61Durham
