A FOREST business group is to hold a series of seminars on practical responses to Brexit.

The seminars being held by Forest of Dean Entrepreneurs on three Wednesdays will each look at different aspects of the UK’s departure from the European Union.

They are among a number of events for the business community being held in the coming weeks.

The first, on February 6, will look at the implications and opportunities of Brexit.

The second, on February 27, will be a more detailed look at the possible range of responses by

local businesses.

The final seminar takes place on March 13, and will include advice for businesses on which approach might be best for them.

The seminars all start at 4.30pm with tea and biscuits at the Vantage Point Business Village in Mitcheldean.

To book a visit www.fodentrepreneurs.co.uk or search for Brexit Seminar on the Eventbrite website.

The Entrepreneurs are also working with Vantage Point and the GFirst Local Enterprise Partnership in reviving a business breakfast event.

The first will take place on Wednesday, March 6, from

7.30am to 9am.

Among the topics for discussion will be Brexit, the new Forest Economic Partnership, and National Apprenticeship Week.

Forest of Dean Entrepreneurs was set up in 2013 to provide support and advice to new and existing businesses.

It is funded by local businesses and recently welcomed the Midcounties Co-operative as a new sponsor.

The group also holds an annual enterprise fair with direct access to a range of business services.

This year’s event, held in conjunction with Vantage Point and the Federation of Small Businesses, will also tie in with the formal launch of the new Forest of Dean Growth Hub.

Due to open its doors to the business community in April 2019, the Forest Growth Hub signals a hugely positive investment and commitment to business growth in the area.

The Enterprise Fair takes place on Wednesday, May 8.

You can get involved in the conversation by using the hashtags for each of the events.

For the Brexit seminars the tag is #FoDEntrBrexit, for the business breakfasts it is #FoDEntrBB and for the enterprise fair it is #FoDEntrEF.
