Help and advice on all aspects of running a small business, links with Newhaven Enterprise Agency which can help with accountancy, funding, tax, marketing etc. Timber storage, assistance from like-minded people and discounts on timber, tools and materials.

John Lloyd's tool shop offers very competitive prices to our bench space users and runs excellent short and long courses. We run exhibitions throughout the year and residents are able to display their work. The Workshop also has commercial cilents that residents are invited to undertake work for. This great practice enables residents to quote, construct and invoice for their work. Marc's partner is able to offer discounted photography and web design.
