Business
The Town Council’s aim for Corsham, when it comes to Business and the Economy (a theme from the Strategic Plan 2022-2026) is to ensure a thriving and successful town centre and offer as much support as we can to local businesses.
Our objectives in meeting that aim are:
- To prioritise the vitality of the town centre in decision-making, making it more attractive, active and accessible.
- To conduct regular business surveys and act on the outcome.
- To support local businesses through engagement and advice where needed.
- To grow Corsham as a visitor destination.
Business Support
Town Councillors meet regularly with local business owners to discuss aspects of the Council’s work, including tourism and events and environmental projects. For advice, support and information, contact us at the Town Hall.
Further help and advice is available from:
Corsham Chamber of Commerce While the Chamber has been dormant for quite some time, there are plans to resume activity in 2022.
Inspire is an organisation that can offer help and support, as well as networking opportunities.
Wiltshire Council has an Economic Development team that offers support and information to local businesses, including grant funding. You can find out more from the Businesses section of the Wiltshire Council website. You can also sign up for a weekly Wiltshire News for Businesses e-newsletter.
The Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership (SWLEP) is a private sector-led partnership between local businesses, Swindon Borough Council, Wiltshire Council, the military and the education sector. Its aim is to bring about sustainable economic growth to the region and, by 2026, to see Swindon and Wiltshire renowned for innovation, entrepreneurism and great quality of life. Their Growth Hub , ‘a gateway to success’, offers business support, workshops and events (many of which are free).
