Google have accepted my invitation to bring their team of advisors to Folkestone in April to help local businesses get more out of the internet, and even to help set them up a website if they don't yet have one.
The team from Google will be based in Folkestone in the building at the corner of the Old High Street and Tontine Street, which is number 3 to 7 Tontine Street, and will be running their free face to face advice sessions on 23rd and 24th April. You can book a free 40 minute session online at www.gbbo.co.uk/juicebar
This is a great opportunity for all businesses and organisations to see how they can make the internet work harder for them. This initiative is part of a new project backed by Google called 'Getting British Business Online' and the advice sessions they are running in Folkestone will be the first they have conducted anywhere in South East England, and Kent will also be only the third area in the UK to have the benefit of these sessions; they have previously only been held so far in Wales and Liverpool.
I would like to thank Naomi Gummer and her colleagues at Google for making this possible and Alastair Upton and the Creative Foundation in Folkestone for providing the space for the advice sessions to take place.
