Ashford Borough Council is launching a new support package to help city center businesses recover from the pandemic.

It is offered across Ashford and Tenterden to retail, hospitality and leisure businesses and aims to “develop and leverage the opportunities offered by Covid-19.”

Businesses in Ashford city center are expected to benefit from the new support package

The targeted program was launched in partnership with Loveashford and will initially run for 18 months to provide limited tailored support to a select number of eligible companies in both city centers.

It is introduced by the consulting agency CPG. It offers free one-on-one support so local businesses can access expert advice from expert advisors. Grants are also made available to qualified businesses to help them realize their digital ambitions.

Companies can register their interest using an online application form.

Cllr Paul Clokie, Portfolio Owner for Regeneration and Business Ownership, said, “We are proud of the work we are doing in helping businesses across the Ashford community and we hope this means many of them have access to advice and can contribute to growth. The past year has brought unprecedented challenges but also new opportunities and this partnership with CPG will take advantage of them. “
