down business centre
Downpatrick
Getting Down to BusinessDown Business Centre was established in 1986 as the
local enterprise for the Down District Council area which, in 2015, became part
of the wider Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. The company is a
not-for-profit organisation and works for the benefit of the local community by
supporting new and existing small business and by playing an active part in
business development at local, regional and national levels. The Company has a
formal Memorandum of Understanding with Newry and Mourne Enterprise Agency and
the two organisations work closely together, seeking to complement each other’s
work across all sectors. Our role is principally three-fold; we provide business
accommodation at competitive rates for light industrial, commercial and service
sector businesses both new and established; we encourage and support local
people on their journey into self-employment and we help businesses grow through
training, one-to-one mentoring, programmes and masterclasses. In addition we
offer a suite of training and meeting rooms for hire.
