A new competition for businesses across Staffordshire has been launched today (Monday 2nd April 2012) which could see one business winning up to £5,000 worth of Public Relations support from leading communications agency Purple Sprout.
The competition is aimed at new businesses which have been trading for at least six months and are no more than three years old, and which have an innovation focus.
Supported by Trentham based communications agency Purple Sprout and the Staffordshire Business Innovation Centre (BIC) the competition is designed to give new businesses a helping hand and the tools they need to communicate their products and services to their target audience.
