Welcome to the latest issue of
creativeLincs - the e-news letter for Creative businesses in North Lincolnshire.
I'd
like to start off this newsletter by saying a big thanks to Mark Webb,
Jemma Noonan and Gareth Price for speaking at our networking event last
week and to all who attended. I hope everyone took something away from the
event and it will help to keep up the motivation in these challenging
times.

held on 25th November.
Don't forget, news, training, jobs and opportunities can be
read and posted on the forum. Got something that the Creative Industries
