A Rotherham Council chief will address a group of influential business leaders at 11 Downing Street as part of a worldwide celebration of the work done to encourage entrepreneurs. The council’s director of planning and regeneration, Paul Woodcock, will join Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury Angela Eagle and an impressive line-up of incubation experts marking Global Business Incubation Day on December 8, to tell them about Rotherham’s outstanding talent for nurturing start-up businesses. Paul Woodcock said: "I’m delighted to have been asked to talk about Rotherham’s pioneering approach to supporting businesses on a national platform. "What we have achieved in the borough over the years is impressive – and shows first hand how you can create a culture of entrepreneurialism where it scarcely existed before. "From day one we put business incubation at the forefront of our economic plan, investing in four purpose-built business centres and supporting people’s business ideas and their dreams. "Business incubation is crucial for the financial health of Britain – especially in the current economic climate. I hope we can spread the Rotherham message that incubation does work – and that it can drastically improve people’s hopes, dreams and prosperity." Also speaking will be Sir Graham Ross Russell, the chairman of UK Business Incubation (UKBI) and David Gill, managing director of St John’s Innovation Centre in Cambridge. To celebrate Global Incubation Day, business centres run by Rotherham Investment and Development Office (RiDO) will throw open their doors to offer business advice to budding entrepreneurs.
