A SERIES of seminars offering free business advice will be held at the Arc Theatre next month.

Jointly organised by BLB Solicitors, Monahans and HSBC Bank, the seminars are designed to help businesses become more successful, covering a range of topics including online trading, international trade, worker efficiency and staff incentive schemes.

The Wiltshire Times, along with Business Link and the Wessex Association of Chambers of Commerce are supporting the all-day event at the theatre in College Road, Trowbridge, on May 11.

Paul Freeston, chief executive of apetito, has been invited to talk about how the meals on wheels firm has become one of west Wiltshire's success stories.

Frank Scott-Ashe, from BLB, said he was looking forward to the event.

"It's an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in growing their business, whether individuals, companies in their early years or more established businesses looking to develop nationally or internationally.

"It is equally of interest to people considering starting in business for the first time, so there really is something for everyone."
